Charm, good luck token, not a real coin.

Yep, it's not a coin, but a "good luck charm". The inscription reads, in the traditional order top-bottom-right-left, "Zhao Cai Jin Bao", literally "invite wealth receive coin", but more poetically "let wealth and treasures come to you". The mythical animals on the reverse are a dragon and phoenix, often used together to symbolize wishes for a long and happy marriage.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

token, "zhao cai jing bao", means prosperous business and plenty of treasures coming your way
