✅ SOLVED Egypt or United Arab Republic Coin Help

[steelheadwill]

Hi all,
Looked at every site I know of trying to ID this, very similar to some from above countries, It appears to be nickel alloy 20 mm, the symbol inside the floral wreath is called a 'Toughra', below this is Arabic date, (reversed 7 and 1) I think this is 1895 . Design is very similar to Egypt 20 Qirsha silver coins of 1885-1913, shown at bottom.
Thanks for looking

Agreed. I can see the Arabic word for Egypt (Misr), the giant "5" (which to them is an o) and the Islamic date of 1293, but Arabic calligraphy is difficult for me to read.
