Given the corrosion, I assume it's made of tin, or perhaps pewter or white metal, Such materials do not survive well being buried for a century or two.
My guess would be a commemorative medal, from the early-to-mid-1800s, when such things were at their height of popularity but before the invention of cheap, mass-produced aluminium in the late 1800s. I'm afraid I can;t tell who the person on the obverse is, nor read enough of the legend and reverse inscription to have a guess.
