It's Turkish; the date is the area with the 'reverse sevens'
Updated: (Arabic year 1327; or about 1909 to 'us'.)
The top pic needs to be inverted 180 degrees.

It's Ottoman; the date is the area with the 'reverse sevens' (Arabic year 1337) Quick way is to add 622; ergo; 1959 + or -.

I modified my entry with another 'formula' for the date. I'll keep looking. There's an interesting story regarding that top pic; it has to do with a 'signature' (as you see it) that became the 'logo' of the country.

Here's the coin: (1909).
I don't know the denomination.
Yours is in silver; this referenced one is in gold.
