I guess it is nothing from these. The most similar one is :

There is also diameter 17mm.
But..
There is year 1222 on my coin, not 1223.
Morover number for exact year identification is 78, not 26-32.
I guess writing is also slightly different - but as I dont understand arabic..I am lost.
My 1st link contains the listed coin.
Did you try to take its weight?
I'm thinking this coin may be a counterfeit or a jewelry replicate. Weight may give us important precisions.

Regnal year 78 means it's a belly dancer coin since it's an impossible regnal year. It was not meant to be used as a real coin. Might be some precious metal in it tho, if you're lucky and it was a rich belly dancer. :D
Sorry but that's unlikely as they were produced to seem old. The ones I've seen sorta like yours were made of brass. I don't know how to tell the difference except by weight.

Complete correct. These belly dansers keep popping up a lot.

This is a "belly dancers' costume" imitation Ottoman coin. The tip off is the regnal year, 78. Neither Mahmud nor any other sultan has ruled this long. As for the content, I wouldn't expect any gold in it at all.
