Identification silver coin

Does anyone know what coin this is and where it's from (and if you know some Arabic even the year)?
I don't know the weight but the diameter is 19 mm, thickness about 1 mm.

Thanks  ;)
This is a 5 Qirsh - Abdul Hamid II ١٢٩٣ which is 1293 in the Islamic calendar or 1876 in the Georgian Calendar. It is minted in 1885 (Mint Mark ١٠)

Thanks Spookie, you helped me out a lot!
I checked the 5 Qirsh out and it seemed that the 5 Qirsh is heavier than my coin (by how it feels when you hold it) so I kept looking around and found the 2 Qirsh – Abdul Hamid II from the year 1293 (1884) with the same diameter and obverse and reverse. I eventually managed to weigh my coin and it was 2.5 grams so that would prove it's a 2 Qirsh (the year adds up too).

But thanks though because without your knowledge I wouldn't have found out!
It is a pleasure. Nice coin by the way!
