    Couldn't say whether or not it is authentic or a copy, but you can check Here until someone who has more knowledge on these coins shows up.

    It's a modern reproduction of a Qing (Ch'ing) Dynasty Chinese "cash" coin.

    The inscription kang xi tong bao was used on coins cast during the reign (1662-1722) of Emperor Sheng Zu.

    An authentic kang xi tong bao coin is cast and not machine-made.

    Coins like yours are produced in very large quantities for souvenir and "feng shui" purposes and can be purchased for less than a dollar.
