max 200 yrs and it is one of first milled coins i think with simple hand machines (not hammered)...isn't Algerian or any N African coin( ottoman empire) but more likely some Indian state (or close to India) but i cannot find it maybe because it is some kind of token or temple token still not sure after all this time..had same one and gave me many headaches!

I believe Turkish coins always have the star outside (not within) the crescent.
