Need help with this coin

I've been searching for the origin of this coin and I can't figure it out. It's dated 1895 with a 1 on the front and what appears to be a mason's square on the back along with the design. Any help would be great.

Thanks

It looks alot like an German pfennig, In 1895 though the year was near the edge, not under the 1. The 10 pfennig was a silver coin and it had the year under the 10. Unless a change was made partway through the year, or you may have a counterfeit. Another possibility is, it is Austrian or another nearby country which made similar coins. I think I am in the ball park because the eagle looks like the German style to me. I doubt it is a fake.
