Hello experts!

 

Got this coin from a lot but I am unable to ID, tried all parameters  in the search on Numista and Zeno with no result even with a good range in the numbers.

 

My guess is ottoman in somewhere around the world, but I cannot read the inscription under the “Duriba Bi”.

 

Anyone have a guess?

 

Size: 19-20mm

Weight: 3.6g

Thank you for any comment!

now I don't know much when it comes to coins with Arabic writing but I've seen this star design on some older Moroccan coins maybe start there?

Thank you for your comment

Already checked the old Alawi sarifs coins (almost all of them are cast and this one is hammered) with no matches

 

Will keep searching!

Thank you again!
