Since everyone was so helpful with my last question, I thought I'd try another. I would assume this is an Asian coin, but you can never be too sure. I can't read the symbols. Can someone tell me where it's from and what year it is, if it even is a coin. Also, there is a "cut" almost completly through that is the same size as the coin itself. Could this be an error at the mint, or are there other more probable solutions? Thanks again guys!
It's Chinese, and they have been making coins for a few thousand years now. It's gonna probably take you a little bit to match up the markings, but here is a link that might help. Good luck ! http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/china.htm
