humm civil war era (1850 / 1860's) rather rarish chinese coin found in junk box

yep found in a 12 for a buck junk coin box at my local coin store -- wen tsung -- hsing feng 1 coin -- rather rarish coin for a chinese "cash" coin -- it appears to have been in sea water at one time or another -- it has signs of maybe being a beach find or shipwreck by the looks of it . --wish I knew its history lately where it came from.
