You could try to match up the Tughra to its sultan at this site.

If its not a Ottoman, Some Indian states used Tughras and I think also some early Afghani coins also

Um, we've already identified this coin. It's from Ottoman Libya, Tarabalus (Tripoli) mint. See this thread. The only thing we're unsure of is the date.

Your coin has also recently been posted on zeno.ru here, where they think it's a 5 para. Compare it with other Tarabalus coins, like this one.

The die-cutters in Tripoli were very crude and shoddy, compared to those in other Ottoman territories. The name of the mint is often half-missing, and the toughras can look radically different from coin to coin.
