G'day, might be a commemorative medallion, relating to the Emperor Tongzhi: b.1856; ascended 1862; died 12 Jan 1875.
Now, the latter date doesn't match your medallion, but the Chinese calendar differs from the western, so perhaps there is an explanation there.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongzhi_Emperor for more.

A commonly seen modern "fantasy dollar", still made by the truckload in China today. Not silver.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

The 12th Great Emperor on the reverse bottom. The top says The Great Ching Dynasty.

On the obverse it says Tong Ji Emperor. The small characters doing downward from his eyes on the obverse my Taiwanese wife can't read. It's blurry. But whether it's real or not, I don't know.
