"HO-NAN"

Folks,

Dug a "coin"? and have no earthly idea what the heck it is....

It's about the size (maybe a little larger), in diameter, of a silver dollar, not quite as thick, and appears to be made of copper?

One side has oriential writtings, the other side has crossed flags, the words "HO-NAN". Also the best I can make out the words "100 CASH".

What have I got

Sorry but at present I don't have a camera capable of close up photos.


Thanks,
KH
