Hello everybody.

I'm trying to identify this coin for days...



25mm / 4,9g.
Reverse is blank.

Any ideas ?

Thank you for your help!

Hello,
I read Xiang Fu Yuan Bao, for the Da-Zhong Xiang-Fu era (under the ruler of Zhenzong, Northern Song Dynasty, China Empire).

There is a Japanese bita sen version of this but it dosn't look like the Chinese one so I would also lean towards the cash coin.

It have been sold in a lot as a japanese coin. So, so I thought it was more a Japenese coin than a Chinese one.

So, it's a Chinese cash sold as a beta sen coin ?
