? Copper ?

[VBCurt]

I can see some fork shapes or Japanese writing or something. Need help. The farm field this was on popped out a silver cob a couple of weeks ago and also 1880 Morgan. Any links or help would be great. I can't see anything on the backside.

What I can see

I'm not sure of the exact year or denomination but I believe this is your coin:

"During the later Qing dynasty, the coinage of the ancient copper coins had been suspended in most of the provinces in China. The Mint masters found that they could not cast the tranditional cash coins economically, they stopped casting and engaged in another kind of circular coin struck by machinery without a square hole in the centre. It was known as "T'ung Yuan""
