The coin is a 10 para from Ottoman Turkey. "1293" is the Accession date of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The regnal year is in tiny numbers below the tougra; it looks like "28" on yours; that would be 1902 AD.
Believe it or not, the coin contains silver; it's officially .100 fine. KM# 744.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
