    I'm looking for help identifying this one. It is different than the typical Asian cash coins I see. It is thinner and has a bigger diameter. cash coin.jpg

    It's not a Chinese coin but rather a Chinese charm.

    The inscription is zheng de tong bao (正德通宝).

    Zheng de tong bao charms usually have a dragon and a phoenix on the reverse side.

    For more information on "old" zheng de tong bao charms please see this web page.

    Your charm is a modern machine-struck specimen.

    OK, thanks. That's too bad. I'd rather it be a coin.
