We have an "Identification Required" forum for numismatic items you really have no clue about. But if you're pretty sure it's a world coin, you can post it here. And if you get it wrong, the moderators here can move it to where it beongs, no problems.

As for your coin: it's a Chinese Empire cast cash coin, from the reign of the Dao Guang emperor (1821-1850). The mintmark is that of the Board of Works mint in Beijing. Very common.
