Silver Coin...What does it say?

[Mr. Magoo]

Found this coin in a park in New Jersey. It's silver and looks to be a piece someone holed for a necklace. Any ideas from the experts as to date and value?

The Arabic/Islamic date of 1293 translates to 'our' date of approx. 1876. It's a coin from the Ottoman Empire (1324-1922)

The design on the coin to the left is called a tughra; the Sultan's monogram.
Tughra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One story is that a former Sultan was asked to write his name on a document. Not knowing how to write, the Sultan dipped his middle three fingers into ink and began his 'mark' with down verticle strokes using only his three fingers.
