It's most likely this coin found here:

Issed around this era: YUAN-FENG, AD 1078-1085. As for value, probably a few dollars. I know - sounds mad even though it's thousand year old but these were cast in terms of millions. No idea what their mintage is like but it's not rare.

Actually, it's a yuan you tong bao (.祐e寳) written in seal script and cast during the years 1086-1093 of the reign of Emperor Zhe Zong of the Northern Song Dynasty.

A similar coin may be seen here.
