Next time please do try to give a measurement instead of just having another coin for scale.

It's a 2 Bu minted at Edo (Tokyo) towards the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, either C#21b or C#21c depending on the length of the longer sides, which you have not provided:

It could well be a replica, since the details are rather crude.
Pictures without holder and correct weight and dimensions would help, as CassTaylor said
Thanks
