I'd concur with SdKfz's identification. See this zeno.ru page of replicas. There are no genuine coins with the "Xi Wang Shang Gong" legend listed on zeno.ru; they are apparently quite rare. "Xi Wang Shang Gong" (rotate the coin 90 degrees clockwise, then read the characters in the order top-bottom-right-left) literally means "west king award achievement", but perhaps more poetically as "Prize Medal of the King of the West".
I'd also want to wonder about the grinder or sandpaper lines; it makes the "sand" look like it was applied with a paintbrush. For an alleged "prize medal", it seems to have been very poorly made.

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
