Hello, I am hoping someone might be able to identify this tiny item I believe to be a coin of some sort, that I found metal detecting several years ago.

I found it in the water of what is called The Bridgewater Channel, which is in Lake Havasu City, Arizona U.S.A. This location is where the original "London Bridge" was moved to and re-built. I believe Chinese laborers were used in doing the work, and also Chinese laborers were used for railroad work just north of this location.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank You

Oh how I LOVE this hobby!

    Yes, it's a "coin-like charm" or a "charm with a coin-like inscription", not an actual coin. Genuine cash coins aren't this small, and do not have pictures on the other side.

    @Namvet69, and @sapyx, Thank You both for responding. Guess it goes in the "other junk jewelry" pile!
