These are very interesting, there seem to be a lot of work went into producing them but I can't figure out what they are. I believe they are Japanese and something to do with fortune telling or geisha's. If you know what they are please share. Thanks
not kanji but pinyin
IMO this is bogus a type of guandong macao ware, this is one of the Yang Gui-fei , lol
actually it is the chinese meaning ( cross over) an expensive concubine with an extreme high social states, a sort of secundo inter pares
IMO you are probably running into a mytical tale of the 4 beauties of china, but i am not an expert in total BS
I don't know anything about these..Waki says Chinese pinyin. It appears that yours is a souvenir and metal judging by the color, grainy texture and lack of details...I believe some were silver.

Thanks apostata, I'm very interested in Asian culture. I will take a look at that info. dav2no1 yes they are metal, no silver and about 2" in diameter so quite large for a coin.
Mystery solved thanks apostata, you wouldn't believe how long I spent trying to find out.
