Chinese coin, token, or charm?

[Greatday05]

I found this yesterday in a park and have no idea what it is? It is very thin and seems to be Chinese. If anyone can help identify this I would really appreciate it.

I believe I have found the origin and approximate years of minting. I found one similar to it on ebay. It was minted in the years 1662 - 1722. Here is a post from ebay. 1662 1722 China Chinese Cash Coin VF | eBay It is very old, and very cheap to buy. There must be a ton of these out there because it is only worth about a $1.00. Still, for a really old coin it is cheap to come by. My only question is how did it get in the park 6 inches down?

Its a Kang Xi Tong Bao minted in 1662 to sometime in the early 1700's. They are very common and not worth much.

Wonderful find. I have found several similar over the years and attributed It to "digging to deep". Get it :-)

Happy Hunting.. Nice post and great explanation from the TNET experts..
