 Looks slightly like - Tunisia 1 Kharub

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins

bogdanm

 

- Lower picture: It says  سلطان محمود , meaning “Sultan Mahmud”.

 

- Top picture: It says ضرب في تونس , meaning “Struck in Tunis”.

 

So it could be a coin of Mahmud I: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=tunisie&r=&st=1-2&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&no=&v=&cu=&a=&dg=&i=&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&c=&wi=&sw=&p=1#r_tunisie3595

 

Or Mahmud II: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=tunisie&r=&st=1-2&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&no=&v=&cu=&a=&dg=&i=&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&c=&wi=&sw=&p=2#r_tunisie4955

 

Could you provide the diameter of your coin, and if it looks made of silver (billon), as it seems to be, or copper? 


 

So, exactly this is the question: is it Mahmud I or Mahmud II?

Diameter: aprox. 14mm, 1,15g weight, silver/billon metal.

 

None of the coins in Numista have same design. 

 

PS: Algeria have similar coins

If the info provided by Numista is right, I'd say your coin is this:

 

N#42259

 

And probably the same year as this one: https://ebay.us/m/WhdMG2

 

١١٥٢   (1152 AH) = 1740 AD
