(Not directly measured, but about the size and weight of a US silver dollar)

 

This looks like a match. Regnal year 3

 

N#49326

 

Edit

Looks right to me! Size and weight are a match too.

 

How'd you recognize this one?

Getting  familiar with Ottoman coins and Arabic dates etc. I had many of these types (Ottoman) at one time although not this specific one.. This one was so large and heavy it was fairly easy to identify.

Thanks again! Mystery solved.

Update:

 

Was able to weigh and measure the coin accurately.

 

Diameter: 41.3 mm

 

Weight: 29.44g

 

Seems a bit heavy for the 60 para. I know these coins come in a range, but wonder are there any other good candidates?

I think Harry nailed it.  SCWC says weight varies 26.3-28.6 g.  Your weight is only slightly higher.
