Bought this today, no idea from when it could be. I don't know the characters, nor if it is even on the right side. The flipside is blank.

Hello,
Search for "zhou spade coin" I think it could be one of these, since some characters are the same.
Also this site :
http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/china1.htm#zhou
But be aware that there are many fakes for this type of coinage, and I can't tell if whether it is fake or not.

I had one just like that. The white gypsum between the tekst is a why the Chinese use to make the coin look old.
But first the spade has been in a acid bath to create the patina.
You can search your spade in this book: (not the most recent...)
