    Do you have size and weight? That goes a long ways to identifying something.

    It weighed out at 264.6 grams and 3.5 inches long 1.0625 inches wide and about 0.325 inches thick. Maybe this will help

    Sorry, we use mm here. There’s a website called numista.com where you can do an advanced search based on weight and dimensions.

    Copy the Chinese characters and put them into Google Translate. Please tell us the result.

    Just guessing, but it looks like a Chinese talisman or good luck charm that you would hang by your front door.
    The dimensions fit for that sort of thing.
    It looks like its made out of copper, brass, or even wood painted golden color.

    Thinking it is silver, but only done the ice melt test

    Ice melts very quickly when it comes in contact with silver. Other metals, such as steel, melt the ice at a slower rate.

    I'm going to go out on a limb, based on your other counterfeit coin posts,
    the non silver color of this piece and the heavy weight, that it's not silver.

    Why should the 'token' be silver where it could easily be heavy toxic metal??? Never heard of lead paint toy? Gold plated panda 'coins'? Crooks are out there just to earn your penny, not dollar!

    Unless you really know what you are dealing with, stay far away from Chinese "numismatics". Learning the hard way is an option.

    Fyi this talisman is about wishing fortune.

    We still wish to know what it says.
    I have found that different websites have forums that are better than others. For example, the ancient forum here cannot be beat.

    Coin Comunity has a great forum for foreign coins. The OP may find his answer there. Additionally, there are sites that specialize in Chinese coins. He should get the answer there.

    Guess what was learned here was to stay away from this site ask couple questions get downgraded, accused, and over a personal item of mine. Not something I sold you or took from you in any kind of way. Thanks none

    Every answer isn't fake.
    Fake stuff is fake. Welcome to the desert of the real.

    You post fake crap and then get upset because you are told it is
    fake crap?
