Yes its Egyptian. It's either a 1, 5 or 10 milliemes coin or a 5 piastres coin, I think it depends on the size.
http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=13979 Here's some info I pulled up on it by using google. Try just googleing some keywords of your coin in future if you're unsure of it, I do it all the time with weird coins

 

Thanks I couldn't search by words since I haveno ideal what it says . I guesses it was eygtpian from ! Like symbol. On my other eygptian coins

 

That bird is the Quraish Falcon or Hawk which also appears on some Syrian coins for example. But yes, this is an Egyptian 10 milliemes piece. Note the 10 in the middle, and the date, in AH (1392) on the right, and in AD (1972) on the left ...

Hi. Why don't you show us the reverse of the coin which is an Islamic falcon? Your coin is an Egyptian of 10 piastres. Copper- Nickel , dated 1972. KM # 430 or 431 .

Yes it is. It is 10 piastres 1972 from Egypt. I have a similar coin. I've got it for $1.
