old chinese coin

Hi, i just started collecting when i received my mothers collection. I have one coin that i know virtually nothing about other than that it was given to me by a close chinese friend of the family who is no longer alive and one marking on it might be Ching Dynasty.. im pretty sure its authentic ill pist a picture!
If its a replica im sorry for the waste of everyones time

I don't know anything about Chinese coins but I'd like to see a picture!

 

this is the coin... took a minute b/c i had to use my computer instead of my android

 

Hmmm. Looks nice! I think I may have something like that! Very interesting!

 

From what if found out about it, the side with 2 symbols, the one on the left is call a "Boo" which puts it in the Ching Dynasty which could be anywhere from 1500 -1790 (providing my research is correct)

 

Cash, baby.

btw yesterday Forbes - in an antigold article - ran a stock photo of some of those and called them "gold coins."
All that glitters is not Gold, obv.

 

Can you post a link to said article?

Too bad there were no close ups or talk of the coins themselves... just gold value in general thanx though
