Hello everyone,

I've been attempting to identify this coin and have currently had no luck! My friend thinks the writing is Turkish but I'm not sure. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!

Thanks

It's some kind of Indian religious token. Probably not very valuable.

Hello and welcome.

Correct, it's not a coin, but a Hindu temple token form India, a variant of the "ramatanka" token type with a magic square on the reverse. The squiggly things inside the square are numbers, written in one of the local variants of the Devanagari script. here's a similar piece with a differently-arranged magic square of numerals.
