I’d greatly appreciate help with an ID on this copper/zinc cash coin. Denomination? It doesn’t seem to match anything in my Krause manual. Diameter 50mm, weight 28.38g thanks, RM
Looks Chinese. Maybe CHAI-CH'ING, AD 1796-1820 https://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/china8.htm
I think you have a Vietnam war era charm or amulet made to look old and to be sold as a souvenir to service men (to bring home on their return to the states).They sold for a couple of dollars .They incorporated old coin legends and proverbs .I think there were numerous varieties.
