Chinese metal tally

Could you help me to identify this piece of metal, probably some kind of tally?


Dimensions: 9.9 g, 67.6*14.0 mm / 2.2 mm. Not magnetic.

I am far from an expert but what bothers me about your example is that it resembles " long square foot spade money" but I see nothing similar to the triangular cut outs at the bottom. Granted, some feet are pointed or rounded but nothing triangular like yours. I'm thinking some type of contemporary replica.

Chinese merchant counting chip probably late 1800's early 1900's, i have a few similar one made from wood

I have also some wooden tallies and many older spades and knifes. The metal does not look like 2000 years old metal but I have not managed to find any similar ones. The metal of this item does not look like copper, it's some how too dark. I think I will check Zeno next.
