Summary

edit
Description
English: "Charm" is a catchall term for coin shaped items which were not official (or counterfeit) money. However we should not believe that they were necessarily considered magical or lucky. This one was probably a memnotic coin. It has the 8 cardinal directions and associated I-ching symbols on one side, and on the other the 12 animal zodiac in both picture and character. 45mm wide x 2.1mm thick.
