As usual, any thoughts regarding attribution, age, rarity, etc. would be greatly appreciated. If anyone might know the meaning of the characters on the reverse and / or if it is Japanese, Chinese, Korean, other? it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.

living-in-the-past Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 06/22/2020 4:33 pm Thanks Spence good idea. However a source I emailed gave me the following information: The front shows the Chinese God of Wealth holding a banner (gong xi fa cai) which is a common saying during the Chinese New Year wishing a person prosperity in the new year. The Chinese (cai yuan guang jin) on the reverse side has the general meaning of "may you enjoy prosperity". This is a modern medal/charm. Thanks everyone for their help & input.
