Help with coin ID.

Hello I am new to this forum and looking for a little help with this coin.
It has been inletted into the side of an old "american" rifle so I can only see one side of the coin.
Not sure why it's there.
I thought maybe some of the members might be able to help with an ID.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Looks like an Arabic 10.

 

It's a Turkish 10 Para issued by Abdul Hamid II from 1899-1904.

 

That is turning out to be an interesting coin. There is a date of 1293 below the denomination. But that is the accession date of the ruler - 1876. The regnal year is shown on the other side. The composition is listed as billon which means it contains a little silver.
