Wow. Fantastic ID! Kinda weird finding it out in a field where I’m located.It was likely minted in Turkey, but it's 'Ottoman Empire' and would have circulated in other places too. It should have a date represented by the Islamic year in the area I have circled below (picture oriented to be the right way up) but I can't read it:

If it's 18mm in diameter it will be a 10 para coin, like this one, which is Abdülhamid II with an Islamic year of 1293 (1900-1904 in our calendar):
