Hi all. Got this Chinese coin in a box of junk that I bought from auction. Can anyone give me some help on identification and age please.
Coin measures just under an inch. Sorry, not got the weight, bust scales.

I agree Tibet, but I think that normally these are not gold. Maybe plated?

@MetDet71.....

I collect this series and as willieboyd2 said the OP coin is Cycle:15 Year:60 or AD 1926.

There are different variations in this series.
I also have a 1560 coin but as you can see in the detail below they are different variants...

Just in case your interested in the details?....Paul

My coin is..
Y#21.2 Date 1560....1926
Dots in arabesques/Dots in obverse angles
Lion left looking back.Type 1

OP coin is..
Y#21.1a Date 1560....1926
No dots in arabesques/Dots in obverse angles
Lion left looking back.Type 2
