It's a token coin given by Taoist temples for luck.
Here's one of mine.

Thanks for the reply, fliegendehollander.
I worked on your hint a little more, I guess its a I Ching traditional/ horoscope coin. Still couldn't find the exact coin anywhere. I am sure its not listed on Numista.

If it were clearer I can actually read the text and tell you what's on it.
Maybe a scan.

Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!
Looking for pre 1783 coins

They are cash coins.
The top is a coin from Emperor XianFeng of the Chinese Qing Dynasty. Here are the Chinese characters if you want to search them:
咸豐通寶
The middle is a coin from Emperor Injo of the Joseon (Korea)
常平通寶
The bottom is a coin from Emperor Go Mizunoo of Japan.
寬永通寶
Nice mix, except the Chinese coin looks rather fake.

Wow, thanks for your help, I could not find the second two coins in numista, are they there? the first coin is modern, and it feels like bronzed zinc, its a Fake? The Korean coin is cast, and plane on the back, is that accurate? The Japanese coin also appears cast, but I am not sure. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. David

@ redsmithstudios
I cannot be certain whether it is a fake or not, the production of these coins weren't of a high quality and there are fakes everywhere that looks just like the real good.
@ mayank
Your coin might be a fake. All coins i found with the obverse has the eight trigrams instead of the 12 zodiacs.

Fakes are becoming a real problem on Ebay. You have to establish a relationship with a honest seller. Nearly all of my business is now with repeat buyers.
