@Hazel0117, first welcome to CCF. Second, I've recommended to the mods that your thread be moved over to the world coin section of CCF. Third, in looking quickly at my Hartill, I don't see this issue. Is the rev side devoid of any characters?

Also, have you looked at primaltrek already?

I moved your post to the appropriate section for the proper attention.

I have also removed your hijack of an old thread. Please stick to one thread about a coin.

Welcome!
It may be an amulet, or possibly an old tourist souvenir.

If at all possible, ask those people to give you a reference to a catalog where they looked up the rarity and value of the coin. That's what you'll want to have, not just a random "I think it's worth a lot of money"

It is a charm, not a coin. The inscription, read in the usual top-bottom-right-left order that you read Chinese coins, states "Feng hua xue hue", literally "wind flower snow moon", but is apparently a colloquial expression in Chinese that implies "the season of romance". The expression commonly appears on "spring coins" or "marriage tokens".

It is not old - probably 20th century. As for value, maybe a few dollars.
