Off-Topic: Can you identify this item?

I got this coin in a recent trip to Morocco:

Morocco mistery coin

I checked Numista but got crazy, too many variaties, sizes, mints... If I tell that it weights 7.48 grams and its diameter is 27 mm, which coin would you say it is?

I spent 50 dirhams (5 euros) on it. Well or bad done?
Don't be cruel ;-) At least I took a nice piece of the trip with me.

Thank you very much for taking your time to guess!
