Hello, I couldn't find anything like it in the coin catalogs, so I don't think it's a coin...I've seen similar ones online....There is info at the website below that might be helpful in your research, or maybe someone else has more info..I'm new at this so I hope this answer is o.k.

It's isn't an actual coin. It's part of a large series of "fantasy dollars" featuring figures from Chinese history and mythology. This one depicts the Empress Ci Xi, the 'power behind the throne' of both the Tong Zhi and Guang Xu emperors.

Items like this typically sell for a couple of dollars.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I appreciate it, I figure it's a fake or whatever, although it did not attract a magnet. It does feel pretty light which kind of brings my hopes down but I guess we will see!
