It is from Thailand. What is the diameter?
For example it is similar (but not the same) as these ...

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15311.html 1 Fuang 1902-1908





I since found online yours is a Fuang (1/8 Baht / Tical) from 1876-1900.

Hello and welcome!

Just a little add-on to ZacUK's answer; at 16mm your coin is indeed a Thai 1 Fuang of Rama V, but here is the Numista link for the undated type issued 1876-1900:

Looks a little suspicious to me but not too much, so it's probably fine.

For an idea of market value:
