Hello, I'm a newbie here and am curious to know anything about this coin. It was my father's and I don't know anything about it. Thank you for your consideration.
Actually it is from Korea (prior to about 1892). These were cast like Chinese coins, but there were many agencies that issued them and each had different symbols. So we will need the weight and clear pictures to narrow it down.
This could be Korea, Military Training Command only because some characters do match, and many variations are not shown in catalogs. However it's in such bad shape on one side it's hard to be certain. I brightened the photos for my own use. Also search images for: Sang Pyeong Tong Bao #D1938 dated AD 1633
