It is some sort of Arabic coin I think. I have seen others like it before. Someone else may recognise it but some countries have very, very similar coin designs. Could be hard to pinpoint it being well worn.
Is it silver? Some 'silver' coins from that region are actually rather low grade.

It's Ottoman, either Egyptian or Turkish, 19th or early 20th century. If I saw the other side I could probably tell you more.

Is the other side worn or is it actually a unifaced coin? I think I have read somewhere, when trying to positively identify some I had, that some of these type of coins were unifaced.
