I found info from Krause catalog, that coin below 1 cash 1862-1874 probably Shensi Province. But no any number. It is charm token? Thanks

Weight-6,09gramm, Diam-25mm.

Qing Dynasty, Tongzhi Emperor, Boo-san (Shaanxi Mint). Both Hartill and Zeno don't report any official circulation Shaanxi issues for Tongzhi, but this does seems to exist: https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=283361

 

Whether or not yours is legitimate isn't something I could say, I am not super familiar with these non-circulation types. I have reached out to Scott Semans personally for his comments

The consensus of Scott and a number of other experts is that this coin of yours is unfortunately a modern forgery/charm
