It may be difficult to find a coin, but could you not take a cast of one of the others and use that one?

Take the dagger to any of the myriad coin dealers in your area . Most likely an astute dealer will be able to recognise or find the same coin in a catalog .
Purchase said coin , take to jeweler , problem solved .

Let's see the entire dagger .

Lovely !

Nice Rhino horn hilt .
You could also try an ebay search for silver islamic coin ; it might turn up a suitable candidate for replacement .
