I received some Chinese coins and I know nothing about them. I want to know what kind of coins are, what time and if worth anything. I hope you can understand something from the pictures, because some pieces are corroded.
Thank you!

Hello!
Just found a Chinese Coin and would want to identify. I don't even know if it's a coin or a simple token, as I can't find it listed anywhere.
Thanks for the help!

But I can not read what is written on it.
Therere are so many different chinese charms that it is nt easy to find the correct one if you do not read the chinese

Thanks PetrusAscanus and bbybugs for the quick replies. I'll keep it, as no amulet can be a harm, can they?

Yes, no harm, I'll keep it if I have.

Chinese text : 乾坤 is heaven and earth, universe
