Chinese half coin ?

[charlesenealjr]

i found this while searching fresh shredded bark trucked in for a local park playground. i hope i have enough pics to help it is very hard to read. it is slightly magnetic. it wont stick but i can feel a slight pull when i put it on the magnet
my camera work is bad sorry (the dime is for scale)
i still wonder why it was with the shredded bark and there was no dirt. this is the way i found it no cleaning at all. afraid to clean it
any information would be helpful
thank you

looks like an 18th c. chinese coin broke in half.

the coin Japan or China , need to place it to together to see province. this coin looks as hammered on, probably why it break. these coins date way back..sadly most are of little value. but still a nice find.

its def chinese. and treasure search is right about value. common find. but very old none the less
