Need Help Identifying a Chinese Coin

[GavinoGambino]

Hi,

I’ve been doing some research into what I think is a Chinese coin. I found this metal detecting a while back and even after quite a bit of research, I cannot figure out what I have. Not even sure if its a coin, or a charm, or a gift shop souvenir.

Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Gavin

In my opinion it is certainly Chinese and a couple of hundred years old . Try this site: http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/chinaid.htm

If you have an iPhone try downloading Coinoscope it is very helpful for identifying coins.

Thanks for the info.
Coinoscope, Neat! Giving it a try. $12 to kill the ads forever.... worth it to me. Have to see how well it does on finding coin info.
