It is so frustrating when you have a coin with a foreign language that you can't ID. Can any of you great people point me in the right direction please.
It's a Chinese charm. The top image displays the "eight trigrams" (bagua) which is explained at The Book of Changes and Bagua Charms. The bottom image displays an inscription in Taoist (Daoist) magic writing and is discussed in detail at Daoist Charms. The charm is not "old" but of modern production. Gary
