Looks Egyptian, under Ottoman occupation (tughra reverse) . Someone with a Krause will soon identify it for you.

If it's copper, I would even take a wild guess that it's a 1/20th or 1/40th qirsh.

I would also guess it's a 1/40 qirsh 1917 but I can't find it in the Krause book.

It's odd because it looks like some designs are missing, good luck nice either way.

My first thought was Egypt, but this is an area I know little about.

Egypt 10 Para. KM 241 AH 1277 yr 4

Funny, the coin is smaller in size than km#241, but looks the same. Go figure.

How big is it? KM-241 is 30 millimeters.

Never mind. Its 30mm. I thought the pictures were exact sizes in Krause. Ill learn some day.
