Interesting piece. It mentions Muhammad on the first pics and being made in Tunis on the second pic, but this isn't like any other Tunisian coin that I have seen. The last two digits of the date are garbled somewhat, but it starts off with 12.

These two are close, but not exact matches for your coin:

Looks like you might have a Kharub from mid-1800s Tunisia.

The date looks to be 1249, or around 1834 in the Gregorian calendar.

The date may not be garbled.
The 4 and 9 look Malay-Persian instead of what we commonly see instead of Arabic-Turkish.
