Anyone know what this is? I know it’s a charm of some sort. It’s heavy. Made of bronze or brass. No seams anywhere, this coin/charm is really solid!

Do you think it could be shipwreck related?

Looks Chinese or Asian. Many of their coins have those holes in them.

Tru
 
well around my parts its common for Asians to toss them into the water at the beach, maybe for good luck or something idk but i do know the place them in places like above door ways due to there belief it will bring them wealth, so my guess is it was a tossed in item ;) Neat Find none the less brother :D thanks for sharing GL&HH
 
Nice :) I've seen ppl on here get a decent age range on the Chinese coins based on the markings, hopefully someone can help. Never seen.them that big tho.
