a cool past find- a huge Asian coin please help with ID

[lazyaussie]

Found this last season at a park with old houses around it. it was 6-7 inch deep in rock hard ground so had been there for a wile. at first i thought it was a washer but after a clean i could see some writing on it it took me ages to clean the corrosion off it so i could see it was a coin any ID would be greatly appreciated.

But a good luck charm, worn around the neck on a leather cord.
I have one such with a different design.

This ought cover it.
When found it had a leather cord attached.
In comparison my largest coin to date, the Crown on the right, lucky we don't have those they are heavy.
