Any experts on Chinese cash coins here? Hope to find out if it is Qing, if it is real, and if so, it's value. All information is appreciated

Well, I'm definitely not an expert, but the characters are all seem to be correct for one of the early Manchu leaders of the Qing Dynasty: Abahai (1627-1643). "Juwan Emu yan" is the inscription on the rev. One area of concern for me is that according to Hartill, this coin (Hartill 22.8) should be more like 44 or 45 mm in diameter and yours appears to be a little smaller. One of the cast Chinese experts should be able to shed additional light on this.

It's a fake.

This authentic specimen sold for more than $26,000 in 2011.
