Your coin has the appearance of a Ch'ung-Ning T'ung Pao from the period 1102-1106 AD. Emperor Hui Tsung
AD 1101-1125. Schjoth S-621. The average size of a 10 cash coin from this period is 34.1mm with a weight of 11.47 grams. More detailed information can be seen at this link:-

There is little to suggest that it is a fake - though more experienced eyes may prove me wrong!

Thanks aiglet7,

I think your correct. The coin is a Schjoth #621.

I have 14 old Chinese coins total and I've found a good way to look for the coins on the Internet on; Google Image Search.

If you know the country and/or anything else about the coin, use GIS, look for the image of the coin and then "Go to Page".

Thank you very much for your help.
