Identify gold coin/token? (London, bit)

[CCCyou]

Any idea's what this is?
Just a bit smaller than a US dime.
pics:

front?


back?

Maybe try google image search (which works in many popular browsers, but not the one I'm using.)

The writing on the "front" makes me think of Hebrew, but the back kind of looks like Thai.
That's a lot of help, right?

ETA
Quick search shows both Hebrew and Thai coins with pictures of people and animals. This might be from an Islamic nation, where such images aren't used.

Edited AGAIN...
Oh, dang, I'm good. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbasid_Caliphate has a picture of a similar coin, a gold dinar.

Wow - that was fast!

Top coin: Fifth row front but not back.

Not sure about the bottom coin, yet.

Second coin seems to be from the same country, perhaps a different denomination or different year.
Could be rare.
