I apologize if the photos are upside-down, I have a hard time deciphering up versus down when looking at a lot of Chinese, Japanese, etc. characters. From what I've found so far online, I'm going to guess this is a token of some kind, but I could be wrong. Thanks so much for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

At first glance it looks like a cash coin issued during the reign of the Chinese emperor Kao Tsung (1736-1795), which are extremely common and inexpensive. However, your example doesn't look quite right to my eye, and perhaps is a modern replica, although it'd seem a pointlessly unprofitable exercise to reproduce these.
