I thought I was somewhat good at identifying coins but this one is giving me trouble. Haven't been able to find it in any online catalogues. My first thought was Tunisia or Algeria, then maybe Morocco or Ottoman Empire but all failed to provide a match. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Size of coin is small, roughly 17mm.

You say you searched in Algeria but I think that is where this is from.

Though yes I could not find it in their coins, but I remembered a
while ago there was one on the Identifications forum where it
was an Algerian medal. Then I saw this page ...

Though as yours is 17mm they are a little larger; but they are similar.
