I've got this coin - an Ottoman 1 kurus of 1327 hijri year. But I could not identify which year is in Gregorian. Behind has the number serial 27 in Arabic number. Can anybody help me because the coin in Numista doesn't have this year (27 behind).

It should be 1909 in Georgian. You can convert Hijri to Georgian years here,
Hi lidian. I've tried but I don't know why the system doesn't allow me to do that. It looks like it have been posted and later no picture. It's the same coins and the same year but it has that kind of date which I can't find in Numista. I've asked a friend who knows Ottoman coins and said that is a real silver coin which I bought from a man for only 200 ALL
AH1327 is the reign of Muhammad V. He did not stay in power for 27 years, that would be the time of the Republic. You probably made a mistake with the beginning of the reign. It should probably be AH1293 (Abdul Hamid II) + 27th year of reign would result in 1901 AD.

If your coin is a Kurus, it should be this one https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22661.html

The pictures are so small, that I can't see much.
The AH 1327 / 27 date is impossible on a coin, since Muhammad V (or Mehmed V, as he is referred to in Wikipedia) stayed in power from AH 1327 only 9 years (till 1918 AD), not 27 years.
From what I see, this is not a coin, but probably an imitation of a coin made for jewelry, with one side copied from a kurus of one Sultan and the other from a kurus of another Sultan.
Higher definition pictures, including that of the rim, are necessary in order to say more. Also exact weight and size could help.
