I believe the year is 166:
ست وستين ومئة
Would that fit?
Have you been able to read the mint?

Thank you for your feedback. I was in doubt with 161 to be honest, but i am not an expert of abbasid coinage.
I have found 2 coins in the catalog:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces74677.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces89546.html
Following the description the firt one is from al-Basra and the second from Madinat al-Salam, but it seems to my eyes they are from the same mint... I am quite convinced mine is al-Muhammadiya.
Do you think is it right?

Yup ─ al-Muhammadiyyah does fit the script.
And you're right that the catalogue description is mistaken about the mint.
