Hello, someone could help me to identify this coin ?
the diameter is about 4,8 cm and the weight is 62,82 gr .



thanks in advance and best regards Fabio Cittadini
This is an impressively large and heavy coin. Looking at Chinese coins of similar size and weight in Zeno, there are some similarities, but I'm not seeing a match. The most similar coins listed there are 100 wen, Xian Feng yuan bao from Henan, 1851-1861, so if I had to guess I might speculate that your coin is some variation on this. The second photo should be rotated 180 degrees.

You have a modern day fantasy coin, artificially toned.
Shunzhi never minted 50 cash, largest one made was 10 cash (47mm, brass proof)
