    Your coin is indeed an Egyptian coin from the Ottoman era. It is a coin with the denomination of 1 qirsh. You can see the year of enthronement of sultan Abdul Hamid II 1293 AH (=1876) and also that this coin was minted in the third year of his reign (=1878)
    Your coin is listed in Krause as Egypt KM#277 and the catalog value is F:2.50$/VF:8.00$/XF:15$
    I should give your coin VF.

    IMHO the rim is too worn to qualify as anything bettr than F.
