    I have had this coin for a long time but have no idea what it is. Does anyone know and can identify it? Thanks for your help.

    Its a token. Not official currency. Its for luck celebration or memory.

    Thank you. How did you decipher it? Did you use a Website or do you speak Chinese?

    Some can be very old and some can be recent cheap mass production. China is not kind to the uninformed. I have gotten my share of fakes. But i do enjoy collecting the Republic/Empire Cash coins 1900-1950. If you need any other help let me know.
