Hello, it is Meiji 24, or AD 1891.
The Japanese script on the coin is read right to left, even though the English one is read left to right.
The date reads from right to left: (meiji era) [2] [10] [4] [year].
Here, the "10" serves as a multiplier for the number before it.
n.b. not sure how the "meiji era" characters read nor its literal meaning.
