Algerian tokens?

13.1 mM/0.44 G,   14.2 mM/0.95 and 0.68 G. 1277 isn't listed in the catalogue; other two - 1758? Or correct me, if I'm wrong.

I believe the first one is Egyptian. You can read “misr” on the coin (the Arabic name for Egypt).

I thought the same thing too when I looked at it earlier. Trouble is, everything in the Numista catalog from that year has a Tughra on the obverse.

It's holed, so possibly not a coin but a token for a belly dancer's costume.
