Having trouble identifying an Islamic coin. Two centimeters in diameter and very thin. Thanks for your help.

I think that's a token for crossing the Galata bridge in Istanbul

That is correct! Denomination is 20 Para. For some background see: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11075.html

Yes, Alganbagerap is correct! It's a token used up until 1930 and it's worth 20 para (1/2 Kuru#351;). I cross Galata bridge almost every day to work. No more tolls though, might be a problem finding half a Kurus to pay. :)
