Can anybody date this chinese coin ??

Found this at an old ghost town where the back door to the boarding house was.. It was there until the late 1800's. I'am assuming it's chinese could be japanese.

Once you open the link,go to top and hit Chinese index. And start looking for the same markings as your coin. I looked up a coin I found,,it took awhile,,, but I did find it. Every little detailed marking needs to be exact,,,I had a headache when I was done. lol

Not trying to be smart,If you live near a Chinese restaurant take it there and ask if they can identify the writing on it.They may be able to help you.Otherwise you have to google it.

I think they must have minted a billion of those things. I've found several myself.
