Please help identify this coin and whether it has any value.  I've owned this bracelet if 10 identical coins for a long time.  I know the value decreases when made into jewelry, but I've never known what coin these are and I would love to find out.


It is from the Ottoman Empire / Mehmed V (1909-1918)
The obverse shows the number 2 (2nd Year of the reign=1910) and the reverse the date, 1327.
Depending on the diameter it is 5 or 10 Kurus.
Probably it is] this one:

This Ottoman coin was mint in Constantinople (Istanbul now). I agree on the date with Monge, but the denomination is probably lower, either 1 or 2 Kurush, depending on weight.  5 or 10 Kurush are bigger coins and their design was slightly different.
I collect coins and tokens which circulated in Africa from 18th century to 2000. I sell about 7000 illustrated world coins from http://www.avscoins.com.
After looking at all the images, this looks right.  Any idea on value of the 1 or 2 kurus?
They are common and cheap as coins. As elements of jewelry they are hardly worth more than their silver weight, that is not much.
