Hello, I have painstakingly searched for a similar coin to mine with no luck and I've decided to turn to the experts. I have what I believe is a charm coin from ancient china but I'm not positive. If anybody has some identification I'd very much appreciate it!

Weight: 5.42 grams

Diameter:24 mm

 On your second picture - this has the symbols to the left and right … 

N#7409 

Obverse: Two Chinese ideograms read right to left 

Lettering: 銖五 

Translation: Wu Zhu / 5 Zhu 

 Still to find a coin with the symbols above and below also. Still, it is a start. 😊

I'm thinking that it may just be some anonymous design and is not actually a coin minted regularly. I haven't found it in any catalog… I wonder what it would be worth… lol.
