I'm hoping that someone might be able to help identify this coin, I've tried running it through the site image search and it looks like it might be Afganistan?

Knowing the denomination and the correct orientation of your coin and you could have easily found it yourself.
Thank you, I still struggle with learning how to use the search tools on this site sometime.
I wasn't sure how good the image search is or exactly how it works on the back end, I've had it identify some coins upside down and sideways before and other times my photo is too high quality and the coin in the database has a blurry photo.
I've gotten better at identifying the dates just from noticing the pattern from the few coins I've identified recently, but that chart will make life a lot easier for sure. It was that heart shaped 5 that got me, my brain wants to flip it every time.

Numista's image search has some issues. There was some discussion about raising the threshold of a “positive hit” but as far as rotated images sometimes it works without any problems and sometimes not. I tried your coin rotated 180° and got no relevant hits even with the denomination entered. https://en.numista.com/forum/topic154003.html#p1208735
