Hopeless :-\  however with a little work on brightness and contrast we can read "zarb fi..."and a date at top which leads to an ottoman issue.

Thank you Saro, for the coin ID:
Dear kimo, it is not easy to read anything on your coin except 28 on top; I am not sure about the mint:
Ottoman, Sultan Mahmud II, AD 1834/RY 28, AR 1 Para, Konstantiniyye (Constantinople) mint (AH 1223-1255/1832-1838 AD)
Reverse (Left photo):
Regnal year, mint and date
٢٨  , 28 Regnal year, at top
ضرب  , duriba  (struck)
في  , fi (in)
قسطنطينية  , Konstantiniyye (Constantinople)
١٢٢٣  , 1223 (Accession year)
Obverse (Right photo):
Toughra of Mahmud II
Mahmud II (محمود ثانى) was the 30th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1808 until his death in 1839.

Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".
