This piece is probably a tourist souvenir or gift shop item.
Appears to be a composite of a 1000 cash coin from Emperor Wen Zong, 1851-1861 (H#22.715) on the reverse but has Emperor De Zong, 1875-1908 on the obverse.
I have a similar brass or bronze piece of the same diameter that I regard as a paper weight or novelty piece.
