    It's appears to be a coin of Abdul Hamid II, accession date is AH1293 - roughly 1876 (the four characters at the bottom) - and regnal year 25 - roughly 1901 (the two characters at the top).

    In the 2006 Krause the central design is only shown on coins with a wreath, rather than a ring of stars, around the edge, in multiple denominations. Krause, however, is sometimes incomplete. :(

    What is the size of the coin, and what does the other side look like?

    I'd say it is a copper-nickel 1 qirsh from Egypt, KM-299, and almost quarter sized. Roy correctly supplied the date and reign info. The mintage of that date is 751,000 according to the Krause catalog.
