Chinese coin. I got these coins in a gift shop in San Francisco's Chinatown district. I don't know if they are genuine Chinese coins, or if they are genuine silver, but at least they didn't cost less than their melt value, which is usually a pretty good sign of a fake silver coin! I'll test them by XRF when I get a chance. I have to say I'm not entirely clear why a Chinese coin would have English writing on it, but they are quite pretty.
