Hello,

Yes, you do have an interesting Arab-Byzantine coin.  I have not quit
seen one like it, but I an no expert on this series.  The following are
some web sites with examples of Arab-Byzantine coins and some
information about them.  You should share this coin with the Islamic
coin group.  If you would like, I would be more than happy to post it
for you if you are not a member.
