Please post a photo of the other side.

A 500 kurush coin should weigh 36 grams. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces34991.html

So this is not a posibility for your item.

It also does not look like gold.

It is a made-for-jewellery replica of an Ottoman gold coin.

Looks like someone soldered the bail on to the coin/token. Most bails seen aren't that shape or metal for that type of real accept for the gold I believe. It's hard to tell but I'm going to be a betting person here and say it's counterfeit do to it history.

I'm with Sap
