Such pieces are made in China, with various themes - the 12 Qing Dynasty emperors is a popular one. Your coin, I believe, is part of a series depicting figures from Chinese mythology, the "Eight Immortals". This old thread has another Eight Immortals coin, though with a slightly different design. 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 Report this Post to the Staff

These "coins" are actually part of a series known as the "Eighteen Arhats". The first "coin" is the "Meditating Luohan (Arhat)". The second "coin" is the "Raised Bowl Luohan (Arhat)".
