    Help on Oriental coin

    Only have the obverse (I'm guessing) for this one so far. My camera just conked out, so the reverse didn't completely record. Will be adding shortly.

    Looking for what this is, date, and silver content. Approximately the same size and weight as a silver dollar, more or less. Coin looks like an impaired proof: dull, glossy surface on obverse, which is much more worn on the reverse. Hoping the date is shown here.

    Was attracted to the coin because of the martial arts weapons motif, which is continued on the reverse. Might be Chinese, Korean, or?

    It's not an Asian coin, but more likely a token, as pointed out previously. It could be a replica as well.
