So I detected a site where a c. 1900 duplex was torn down last year. The houses around it are from the 1800s. For some more context I found 10 wheats and a 1913 raised mound buffalo nickel. This coin has the same verdigris as all the turn-of-the-century things I find. Back is nearly blank. Coin appears to be machine-struck and it is size of a quarter. I don't know anyone who knows Chinese so any idea what this could be?

Bruh the image file size... is this 1994 or do they not have protection against automated abuse?

I think this may be it. The reverse is also blank on these.

All symbols match but bottom symbol. Coin is machine-struck too so it's probably a token but thanks
