✅ SOLVED Gold coloured token

[revanlive]

Hi guys !
I was snorkelling in Cyprus last April and I saw a shiny thing at the bottom !
I picked it up and here it is !
I have no idea what is this although it looks familiar.
As you can see it has a good colouring but is kinda blue under.
My bet is that it is made of lead with a gold metallic paint.
It has Asians writing all over it and under too.
If anybody could help me figure out what it is 😂
Thanks all !




EDIT :
Here are more pictures with a scale in cm and in inches :

If you could give us the dimensions of your piece or at least take a picture of it in your hand for perspective, that would be helpful.

Nice find,

You’re right sorry about that. I just added a few pictures with a ruler

It appears to be depicting a pile of Chinese “cash coins”, which is the sort of thing one of their good luck “money frogs” is often seen with:

Oh yes it's very easy to see it on the picture !
That's why it is so familiar. I think it's shaped like an ingot or a currency that i probably saw in some movies like crouching tigers and hidden dragons or the house of flying daggers etc.
That's a good start to look it up a bit more, a translation of the bottom ideograms would be perfect !

Found the same on adobestock : http://as1.ftcdn.net/jpg/00/44/50/34/500_F_44503408_tSZ5B0l8J1J0TMGRFUbyMScCdCfsbp7K.jpg
