Interested in knowing what coin this is. Seems to me it is copper, and it is in medal alignment. I am putting the side that I think is the obverse first and then the second picture what I think would be the reverse, with perhaps the mint mark on it.
There are so many variety that you get eye strain looking for a match, but I think it may be 1 Cash - Qianlong https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces36379.html
Thanks. It seemed like it was older than early 1900. I couldn't find it in my two books, and this I guess is why it would not have appeared in the books I have, only have world coins from 1801-2000.
Yep, @Mountain Man nailed the ID, it's Qianlong emperor (1736-1795), Guizhou Province. Hartill 22.283. Common coin, and minimal value, but I find Chinese cash are fun anyway.
