Can anyone please help identify this coin? It is 32mm diameter and came with a note that said:
China Hu Poo 20 cash 1908-1911. Thanks!!!

You have to turn the reverse a little bit counter clockwise:

Year should be 1903 or 1917, though, rather than "1908-1911".

Thanks, Prof. I'm hoping to enter a few hundred coins this weekend. This one had me tripped me up!

Because there is no date on the coin, I can't say if you have to tick the 1903 box or the 1917 box.
