copper ;  37 mm

Tripoli, 20 para, 1223/ yr 20, KM 166. You don't give the weight but if I'm right it should be about 5.6 gm.

The obverse should be turned 90 degrees anticlockwis and the reverse 90 degrees clockwise.

Alan many thanks.
Next tuesday I will write the weights of a several coins.
The weight of this coin must be more than 5,6 g (size is 37 mm) and I think that must be 40 Para.

The next possible coin seems to be a 60 para at 18.27 gm (KM 180), but unfortunately Krause doesn't give a diameter. There is a 40 para, but i'm fairly sure your coin is dated year [2]0 and this style of 40 is only reported for yr 20 at 11.98 gm (KM 182) but with a plain border.

The Krause listings are quite confusing and unfortunately I don't have a more specialised reference for Libya.

Krause claims its pictures are real size, so the size of the picture should give you an idea of the size of the coin.

he weight is 13,08 g.

That would make it an overweight 40 para (11.5-12.5 gr.) or an underweight 60 para (18.27 gr.) Since coins don't gain weight, but do slim down when worn and in view of the star at upper left of the toughra, I would prefer Libya KM 196, 60 para 1223/x (regnal year worn off, possibly 20 as I see a dot above "sanat") ino Mahmud II.
