Hello, everybody.
I have a coin that may be 19th century Chinese... but I have no experience with Chinese coins.
I thank you for some help in identifying this coin. It's 20 mm in diameter.
Greetings.
Juan.

Hi!

I don't know very well the chinese coins but it looks like a fake to me...

It's a 1 cash coin from China, from the reign of Emperor Guangxu.

It is cast, but there are so many made and remade (as lucky charms)
