The reverse is not quite clear enough to match what I believe is a seated figure left rather than standing with:
The obverse which seems to be Vespasian (AD 69-79) with a legend beginning IMP CAES VESPASIAN?
Depending on size & weight it is either an AS or SESTERTIUS – unless radiate head can be seen in which case a DUPONDIS.
Afraid that is best I can do in current picture state.

Ah yes, Emperor Vespasian, the taxer of urine and who's namesake still adorns the public urinals of France to this day

The bottom 'Turkish coin; depicts the image of a 'tughra'. The first tughra appears on coins during the reign of Ornan (1326-1362), but his tughra differs from the OP's coin; ergo, this coin was minted after 1362. Each sultan had is own tughra but the condition of this coin's tughra defies proper attribution.
ID-ing that coin may be based on the image on the reverse side of the coin.
