Hi all, recently while packing my house I found this large and heavy coin, can someone help me with identifying it and if its genuine or not, and how much is it worth now?

It's not a genuine coin - there was never an old Chinese, Japanese or other Asian coin that looked like this. What you have is a "fantasy dollar". I think the figure on the obverse is a depiction of the Jade Emperor, the King of Heaven in traditional Chinese / Taoist belief.
