Does it stick to a magnet?

The date literally reads 1325 which is either 1907 or 1946 depending on whether it's Lunar or Solar Hejira.

I don't really know anything else.

That is a New Year token from Iran. With the date of 1335, that means it is from 1956. There were a lot of different types of these tokens made, but an example of yours can be found here.
Rest in Peace

My first thought was North African continent, Algeria or Morocco, but didn't find it, not Ottoman, Egytian, Somali, Libyian, at dead end, sorry.

Yeah, I couldn't quite tell if it was 1325 or 1335. You're right Joseph.

I guess knowing about the token itself helps!
