Hi there, I picked this up in a lot of random coins. I don't usually go for ancients, but this one is pretty cool.

I think I have identified it using Numista as FD# 896, 1 Cash - Tiansheng (Seal script) (1023-1032).

It is just barely smaller diameter than a US Quarter, and I don't have access to my scale right now, so I can't weigh it.

I am of no use to you for this coin but the bottom "legend" looks different on your coin compared to the one on Numista . This may be due to the thick patina obscuring it though.
Welcome to the Ancients, hopefully with any luck you'll get Ancient Fever.

Hi chrsmat71, thanks for the ID. Do you happen to have a catalog number?
