Every Friday there is an open air market near me that I attend while walking the dog. Today, I found this beautiful coin, in a plastic box holder, in absolutely pristine condition. I paid all of $2.00 for it. I look forward to finding out its value.

It is 2 inches or 5 centimeters in diameter and appears to be made of a brass and copper alloy.

It's all about that magical moment of discovery when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Very interesting piece, it's large size makes me think commemorative rather than circulation coinage.
  the series of arms on obverse may be emperors dynastics,
the inclusion of arabic numbers in the central line of reverse
characters seems odd.
also what appears to be a manufacturers stamp at bottom reverse.
  Ive searched a bit, finding nothing similar. I'd guess that the writing on the holder tells the tale.
No Doubt a Score for $2..             Looking forward to seeing this identified     Wink
