Strange coin from probably China

Hello,
I'd like to ask if anyone can help with indentify my strange coin. It looks like it was from China, but I can't find it anywhere. Its diameter is 14mm.
Heres a scan of it:

Thanks for any help.

Hello Dobry,

It must be a Chinese cash coin, but the picture is too bad to drive further investigation.
The left side displays the mint name. The right side displays the emperor's name (top and bottom characters) and 寶通, which means nearly "currency" (left and right characters).

Since you have direct access to the coin, you may look for the mint name and the emperor's name (which tells the age of the coin) by yourself, if the condition of the coin enables this.
To know the mint name, compare with the Mandchu characters on this page. Unfortunately it is French, but you can however use the table in the middle of the page.
To know the emperor's name, compare with the Chinese characters on this Wikipedia page. You have to compare with the "reign name" (4th column).

I can read chinese, but unfortunately the link is blocked at my current location (guess where). So if you can host it on flickr, I can tell you the markings

Ok, its very blur but I'm very sure it reads 咸丰通宝（ 咸豐通寶 trad.）. The emperor is Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, which probably means the coin was minted between 1850 to 1861.

Thanks a lot;]  

no problem.

BTW, the words are ordered as 通寶, meaning circulating treasure, literally.

Other common ones are 重寶, heavy treasure.

Hard to make out the image ... I can see some similarity with this one, but the dates do not match up with what you expect.

The words are definitely matching.
As for the dates, I gave the dates of his reign. Of course, that might not be the dates where his coins are minted.
