I'm pretty sure that it is a 10 Qirsh as shown just above the two cannons, but it would be nice to be sure. Here is a link to the numista page for that coin (yours shows a date equivalent to 1903 AD): https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22064.html It has some pretty heavy circulation wear, so I suspect that most of the value will be in the silver content, which is a little over 80% on this coin.
