    They are Chinese "Cash" coins, they have been produced in their millions for centuries.
    Some are reproduced for novelty value.

    Yes. I got this as a novelty item at a flea market for very little money.

    I have a whole string of them brought from China by a friend who was a missionary in China in 1926 , long since departed. They are real and probably hundreds of years old , and probably worth nothing but sentimental value........
