Is this a coin, a replica, a “luck coin”, or a fantasy coin?
Thank you

Hi kataa,

I'm not too familiar with Chinese coins but I believe that this is probably a form of fantasy coin (probably a fengshui token).

On the obverse, the words written are 通宝 (horizontally) and 嘉庆 (vertically). This emperor ruled over China in the early 19th century. Here's an article more about him. 通宝 means something like circulating currency.

On the reverse, the words written are 百子千孙。 It literally translates to hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren. During the Qing dynasty, the reverse of coins are usually traditional Mongol characters, which I believe is probably the name of the emperor in Mongol script.

Hence, I believe that this is a fantasy coin.

​Qing dynasty reverses used Manchurian characters to indicate the city or province of issue.
Unlike your coin, there are genuine charms with the same wording (on obverse, here attributed to Kangxi)

​I do not recall that coins in China back in that time were minted by adopting machine manufacturing technology. Furthermore, the calligraphic styles were varied but did not include this one.
Thank you all!
