Attached is some photos of what we cannot figure out. We think the markings are Chinese, and think it is an old form of trade / coin. It is made of silver. Perhaps it's not a coin at all? Can anyone help me please? Cheers ! Report this Post to the Staff

Is that correct? The shape doesn't suggest a coin. There's the Thai bullet money, but those had a simpler design. The design doesn't remind me of any Chinese coin legends.
