Hi everyone!

I bought this coin on ebay based strictly on its looks. I'm not sure exactly what it is but I liked the look of it so I bought it.

My wife is Chinese, and she told me the Buddha pictured on the coin is the "biggest" Buddha. I suppose she means he's the most powerful Buddha. The reverse shows some tools/weapons which are used by the Monkey King and other Chinese mythical characters.

I've tried to find a site on the Internet with more information without any success. Any information on this coin would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you and have a great day.

Look to be a fantasy piece made for 'Journey to the West'. A souvenir medal.
