Did anybody ever encounter this...!?!?

Hello everyone...

I found this tiny coin among Indian Princely States coins... there were about 80 coins in the hoard...
in any case I would like to ID it, if possible...
Here's what I know about it: Copper / 0.9g / 14-15mm

I put the Obverse picture in two orientations: 1st looks like an Arabic script, the 2nd orientation (90 degrees) looks like a "horseman"
I might be wrong... the Reverse: is a Six Pointed Star partially visible...

So, thank you in advance for your anticipated help...!!!  :))
Maybe from Arcot ...

Or Morocco. Or Libya ...

Thank you ZakUK... I like your suggestions... once I saw a coin from Arcot (I wished to have one) b/c I need one... ;)) okay back to your suggestions... the hexagram matches... lol... the rest doesn't - sorry... so I posted a request to ID this coin on another site... hopefully will get some info from there... and I will post it here... thank you again for your time... =))

P.S. this is off-topic but I am looking for a good online or PDF resource about Ottoman Coins (early period) about e.g. manghirs - monetary unit... do you know of any...?!?! maybe you can tell me where to look for such info... I have several coins that need to be ID'ed... thank you in advance... :))
@ ZacUK - I looked so many times at the coins you've suggested and this one https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces79877.html
becoming to look more and more similar to mine...


the left picture is mine and the right is from the link above... I see some similarities in the text (my coin has no date at the bottom) and above some differences but there are similarities... can you read the texts on these coins...?!?! and one more major similarity is the hexagram on the reverse of these coins...
Dear ZacUK,

This is the more concise information we were able to get on worldofcoins.eu...

Ottoman Empire, Sultan Mahmoud II, AH 1223/YR 25, 1 Para (Copper), Tarabalus (Tripoli/Libya) mint (AH 1223-1255/1808-1839 AD).
Obverse (First photo):
Inside beaded circle, six pointed star with dot in the center (no legend).
Reverse (Second photo): Inside beaded circle, mint and date:
ضرب Dhuriba, (Struck)
في Fi, (in)
طرابلس Tarabalus (Tripoli)
١٢٢٣ 1223
٢٦ RY 25 (Regnal Year) is at the top above letter " B ب " of the word " Dhuriba ضرب ".

Note: The year 26 has 4 dots in the center of the hexagram, a hexagram with one dot is for year 25.

So, Thank you for your pointers and directions... =))
