    >>The image on the right appears to be in the Phags-pa script.

    The text on the right is just Arabic, in some variety of Kufic script. See
    the attached. It just means
    There is no God but God, Praise to the Prophet of God.

    I am surprised to see that on a coin of Mönge, but you never know with
    Mongol materials.
