✅ SOLVED Chinese coin?

[testing123]

[FONT=&quot]Maybe Chinese, but I know nothing about them. It's about the size of a U.S. quarter. What date range would it fall into? I don't think it's silver - what metal would it be made out of?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thanks for any input![/FONT]

The image on the reverse is a piece of 'spade money'; one of the earliest forms of Chinese money.

Right type but it's actually a 20 fen so this: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10528.html. Year is 1936.
