Chinese rare coin

23.5 mm of diameter, 3.3 gr, probably copper or brass? a gift with no exact place... any data about the origin would be appreciate. I found some similar in Numista but not exact, it is a matter for experts.
thanks
Guido

I'm no expert but the coin does seem a little off to me.

thanks for your interest. In what sense? Do you think it is not a coin?

Hello

it seems to be this one
But
the characters are too different and the bottom of your coin is full of dots which is a sign to say that it is a fake This currency is very common

Also if you know nothing about an item how do you know it's 'rare' ... weird.

Thanks for your answers. It is rare to me and to this part of the world, perhaps for you it is something that you can see everyday, this was the sense of "rare"...
It could be fake, if you feel it... I'm not selling this coin... but it is good to know what to look to know the difference.

​Avoid using subjective descriptions like "rare", "ultra rare", "common", etc, since they have absolutely no meaning.

​Yep. The dots indicate that it is likely a replica. These replica coins are minted in the millions. They are usually sold to tourists as souvenirs or as lucky tokens. Usually, 1 set of replicated 1 cash coins from the Qing Dynasty will cost around 2 to 3 euros in this region.

Definitely a replica coin. Even authentic one does not cost too much and can be easily acquired.
