Chinese coin found today with my Blisstool v3i what is it ?

[Chris Leigh]

I went searching on Repulse bay beach Hong Kong my 6th visit and found a Chinese old coin in quite good condition.

I’ve only found modern Coins to date using a T2, Blisstool and Nokta Golden sense. Golden sense has found me two gold rings and two silver so far and possible platinum ring also so this machine is winning with good finds so far.
I’m not sure about this coin so thought to ask here. :-)

I doubt it’s worth a lot but it’s my first Chinese old coin find here :-)

I looked at this for a while yesterday.

I've seen a bunch of Chinese cash coins posted on T-net over the years but never one with an obverse like that.

I didn't find an exact match but saw some sets of Feng Shui or Good Luck coins with similar images on the obverse. Some were used as pendants...

Based on my findings and relatively decent condition of your find, I guessing that's what you've got - a modern pendant resembling an old Chinese cash coin.

Do a Google image search on ' "Feng shui" cash coin ' to see what you think.

Does that mean it is a token and not a coin?

Yes I think it does.
