Hi all.
Any ideas what this might be. Diameter 32mm, weight 10.4g and it is magnetic so if it should be silver then it goes in the fake bin !
Thanks.
Brian.

I agree it is an obvious poor quality fake, but here's a description for the OP:
The upper picture has the symbol for longevity above the square have these words:
Made in the Kirin Arsenal under official supervision in the 10th year of Kuang Hsu.
The lower picture has four manchu characters meaning: Kirin Weight Half Tael.
Within the small square: Half Tael Chang Ping.
