It's actually a fantasy token or charm made to look like an old Chinese cash.

Rotate it to the left 90 degrees and it'll be upright. From the top and reading clockwise, it says wind, flower, snow, moon.

oh jeez what are those people doing on the reverse? :O

j_h_s- I actually posted one of these on the Identification forum a while back. And, yeah, the thread title was "need help IDing a pornographic Cash Coin," so you may want to nix the last image so that you don't chance offending anyone.

And I agree with wd1040 that it is a fantasy piece. It is a "wish charm," and you can imagine what the owner of such a coin would have been wishing for. haha
Rest in Peace

Tsk. Can't you see that "those people" are just contorting their bodies to form words in ... um ... maybe Sanscrit?
