1800's Japanese Coin in SE Missouri

I recently got permission to hunt a lot where the home had burned down and a new one is under construction. I had found a couple silver dimes and some wheat pennies but never expected to pull this out of the ground!
It is a bronze cast Japanese 100 Mon coin dating 1835-1870. Who knows how it got there but a pretty fun find and great way to end the day.
