Which part you cant make out? The coin is in pretty good shape, dont think you should have a problem making out what it says. Sometimes when I cant see markings I use a magnifying glass, give it a shot, maybe it will help. Youre welcome!

Uhh what ? lol

I agree with Bramblefind that it has the appearance of a modern piece, and I'd seen other charms which have the identical hole placement. I suppose it's based on earlier coins, like; Ancient Qing Dynasty Chinese Bagua Coin Pendant.八卦吊&#226 (Penang, end time 10/3/2012 2:15:00 PM MYT). With the yin yang added for extra feng shui

CHINESE GOOD LUCK TYPE OF SYMBOL -- OK * seems like one (Korean and Chinese are very similar looking --and the yin / yang symbol while used on the south Korean flag --has Chinese "roots"
