Hi everyone. I just got this coin from a client and need some help identifying it properly. The diameter is 35.5 mm and the weight is 12.8 grams. It appears to be made of bronze or copper (I'm leaning towards bronze.) The two centered symbols appear to mean 2 Fen by referencing the Chinese symbols in Krause, but this coin seems to be much larger than a 2 Fen coin. Hopefully, we have someone here who is well-versed in Chinese coinage and can give me some more info.
