Hi
I have 3 big 'temple tokens'. Each is the size of a CD. and about 4mm thinck. There is a square hole in the centre about 5 x 5 mm. I bought them at auction as 'temple tokens. They have 4 Chinese symbols on, and look like they are made of brass. Any identifiers welcome!?

Kind of hard to ID without photos. And a measurement of the diameter in mm would be great too.

I've did some searching and there are also Indian temple tokens. Both under Chinese and Indian, I didn't find anything that large.

Any chance to get a photo of the obverse and reverse of them?

I've seen examples of these. Not regarded as true tokens, but generally advertised as medallic art.
