It's a token from China.. year 1897

 

Is it worth anything

 

Or rare

 

If it is real.. maybe
I want to share this webpage with you -

Thanks!

 

Sorry, but yours is a fake. Looks cast. If you look at that link paddyman posted, you'll see a similar line on the reverse like yours at about 5 o'clock.

 

What kind of terrible person would give fake coins to kids and not tell them about it. What a terrible introduction to the hobby. Sorry @Coin Kid

 

I was just thinking the same thing.

 

Coin Kid,
I got a few of those, try holding a magnet next to it. These are often made with a silver alloy wash over a ferrous core.
