Chinese Coin?

[minton7]

I found this tonight at an old homestead site..... it was a foil type signal...... it appears to have some oriental signs on it that aren't that good in my scan.. I tried the peroxide method and this scan is the best I can come up with... any ideas what it is and about how old it might be ? Most things from this site are from the 1920's-1940's but I have found 2 large cents there .. 1837 and 1846........

P.S The 1880 IH is just for sizing purposes and to give you something pretty to look at in this meager post LOL
