Remember the days when we used to find canadian coins passed off in our change? This neat coin was passed off as a quarter at work today. It's pretty cool, from the United Arab Emirates. We have no idea what the words say, but they are interesting. The denomination is even a mystery. Unfortunately, the guy who took it in also wanted to keep it so I wasn't able to add it to the collection.

Not sure, but I believe that writing is the date. This coin is a One Dirham. Worth about 30 cents US.
It's got a coffee pot called a "Dallah" on it symbolizing a common Arab hospitality.
Thank you very much for the added information.
