Hello, I was going through some coins I had got from a relative, and I found 3 old Chinese ones. I was able to identify 2 easily, but the last I could not find on any websites.

It is round with a square hole, 23mm in diameter and is blank on one side. Here is a photo. I only took one because the other side is blank.

I'm leaning towards Japan for this coin so that's where I'm looking first.
But it could be an imitation or even maybe a real China Northern Song coin.
Top looks like Jing and Bottom is uncertain at this writing.
I glanced over Viet Nam and spent much time with the others ending up no place. So I came back to Viet Nam and then found it. Not only that, but I also found it was already posted ahead of me while I was looking.
You know what makes it really bad is that I actually have a couple of these. It happens once in a while trying to ID a coin then realize you have it in your own collection. It's happened before too- even buying a coin then finding you already have it in the collection.
