Ilkhanid - 1 Dirham - Arghun
Not sure of the mint. Maybe it's Mardin mint

Thank you very much for the ID!
This is what comes up on numista for that date and mint:

Looks pretty close.
Regarding the date, do you see 685 on the coin, and if so, where?
Thanks again.

The date and mint are in the outside margins around the square: top-mint, left-five, bottom-eighty, right-six hundred. Parts of that are visible on this coin:

Ah, OK I see that, thank you.
I see there are several stars on the one side (reverse?)
Would you happen to know the significance of these?

The meaning of the stars is unknown to me. Perhaps they are just decoration. The writing on the reverse side is in Uyghur.

The stars are typical for Seljuq silver dirhams. You can check the Seljuq section. I personally recommend Islamic coins and their values by Mitchiner for Seljuq coins especially. Cheers!
