Totally random, found this coin at the grocery store. I was wondering if anyone knew what country it was from. reverse image searches and whatnot haven't gotten me anywhere.

Almost exactly like that top left one. I'll search a bit more later.

yeah, that non-building side matches several examples I see of iranian currency, but I didn't find an exact match in some quick looking. I also looked at 10 or so other Arab speaking countries (again, with a quick search). Maybe PM kingmohd?
