Hi,
Looks like a local coin with scalloped edges. This photo, I have rotated the image, appears to have a date equating to 1942.
Regards,
Norman.

Wow guys, thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. A little bit of digging and I think I figured it out.

It would appear to be a 1943 bronze 5 milliemes coin from Egypt.

Some of the Arabic including two dots to the left of the date match exactly.

Many thanks again. I doubt the coin is analogous to the age of the sword overall but a very interesting addition to this old guy.
