 Looks like more a medal than a coin, especially with that size. 

I guess engineering connected - with a compass over a gear over a ship's wheel. 

All on the falcon bird, surrounded by a chain circle. The numbers ١٩٧٧  are for 1977 date.

Gives off Egyptian or Syrian vibes with the style of eagle.  No luck on my end digging around though.
