Hello,

I can’t find a match for this coin.

I’ve asked a friend some translation, it’s write 1293 and Egypt.

Diameter : 18mm
Metal : not nickel, looks silver.

The closest match I’ve found is this : https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces23214.html

It looks fictional. Where it should say 'one qirsh' under the tughra
it seems to say seven something. also, the tughra is not correct.

I guess it is made of silvered tin and is a costume decorative item.
Such things are common. there are many threads in here about them.
