Huge Chinese Coin ? Found Today in Oregon **

I found this huge coin ? today in a field that used to have (9) houses from the 30's & 40's on it... This thing is bigger than a Silver Dollar... Anyone have an idea how old and what it really is?
Thanks Gary from Oregon...

I added (2) more pics of it cleaned up

Maybe you can narrow down the ID from this site.

Guessing the coin is of a "100 cash" value with that diameter; about 40-50 mm by my estimation.

looks like Chinese.
Check out this website to key-out/date the thing.

you should be able to match the glyphs/characters
on your coin, to the pictures in the website.

I guess if a person has hunted very long.the chances of unearthing one Chinese coin would certainly happen.Does anyone know why those coins always have those square hole in them? Never found one near that size. Good score there.

Nice coin, it reminded me of this large Japanese 100 Mon!

Did they actually make Chinese cash coins of that size? Everyone I've seen has been approx. the same size. They were often kept on a string. Sure it's not good luck or novelty item?

Some "100 cash" coins are larger than an IKE dollar.
