One of the members here has an avatar similar to that coin. It's either Japanese or Chinese but I couldn't tell you the age.

Cool find though, especially in Indiana!!

Chinese, Kang Hsi period. 1661-1722. Mintmark is bit unclear but looks like board of revenue mint, Peking.

Nice call Voriax, but you left out the part where it was minted by a left-handed man with a slight limp and who spoke only in whispers...
