clueless about this one!

I would really like to know what this coin is and where it comes from and if it has any value. Its been haunting me for the past 25 years. Its really used up, so I think it will be a tough one to guess. I got it from a nun (my granny's sister) when I was a kid. Word got out that I was collecting coin so the nun's gave me their stash LOL!!

19th century Turkish. It should be in the Krause catalog, if you are familiar with that reference.

 

Thanks, that give's me a good start!
I'll try to find it here: http://www.numismaster.com/ta/inside_numis.jsp?page=FindMyCoin

 

If you don't find it there, try 19th Century Egypt which also used the toughra.

 

"toughra" intersting. I had no idea what that was:

I went through all the turkish and egypt coins in this online database http://www.numismaster.com/ta/inside...age=FindMyCoin and its not there. Any where else that I should be looking?
