Hello, I have found this coin? Maybe token? And am having g a hard time identifying where it's from how old it is. I have some other Japanese/Chinese coins it this is the only one with a square hole in it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It is a Chinese Cash coin of the Ching dynasty, 1700's to 1909, can't remember which of the rulers. (Not at my computer). It is a quite common coin, does appear real, is from Manchurian mint (2symbols is reverse). All I can remember off top of head
