I’m not very good at this sort of thing but I’d say the engraving at the top of the “tails” side looks like Arabic. Can anyone confirm? Can anyone read any of the inscriptions?

Its Greek. I can't read the inscription from the photo, but it usually says something like 'Ptolemy Basilus' (King Ptolemy), sometimes with a regnal year in the reverse field. Not even this gold coin is the coolest thing though, the Tyrian Shekel , found in the same part of the world, is without a doubt one of the most exciting coin types in existance...
