The picture on the left is upside down, but I can't read the writing. The smooth surface with the raised dots are indicative of its modern origin, as many of the modern machined version of these coins have the small raised dots to to emulate the cast look that older charms and coins had. That being said, I doubt it was made as a counterfeit or to fool anyone, as Chinese people today still use charms. Report this Post to the Staff

The inscription is zhao cai jin bao (#25307;#36001;#36914;#23542;) which can be translated as "money and treasures will be plentiful" or "attracts wealth and treasure".
