This coin was among the Arabian coins, mostly Egyptian.
I ask the help of coin collectors for identification.
It's about 21 mm, aluminum.

I cannot identify that.
Due to the amount of writing on that, I would guess it to be a token or medal.
It is wrecked in any event.

It was nice to have quick answer. Thank You a lot.
There are no numbers, then most likely it is a token.
For medal it is too small
But what did they do with it? It is so rubbed?
How token could be so rubbed?

The Cresent and star remind me of Turkey, almost like on this 1 Kurush coin:

I agree that there's too much writing for it to be a coin of sorts. If indeed Turkish, it is an early piece as modern day Turkish uses the Latin alphabet, but before and early on they used the arabic script.appearance and the surface damages. I'd guess it's a token of some sort.

I believe it to be a religious medal. The phrase below the star-and-crescent is the Shahada, the Islamic statement of faith (there is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah). I can't read the reverse inscription but it is probably a quotation from the Quran.
