I bought this back when I was a teenager, it was large, silver, and old. Best part was I dug it out of a foreign coin bin and paid $5 for it.
Obviously it saw a decent amount of circulation in China before it came back to N. America. I like the chopmarks, some identifiable characters even.

super cool, thanks for sharing!
Nice, the Portraits sell for at least 10x that nowadays.
Right on, I like it!
Very nice and knowing that you dug it out of a coin bin, well that's great. I could study it for days. Peace Roy

@RobertM Check to see if it’s real. Many fakes come from that area.
