Chinese Coin - circa 1875 to 1908.

I found this coin many years ago at the Johnson Home on 800 South in Orem.  They had a huge black walnut tree with a pioneer plaque attached to it.  When the coin was found it had a piece of fabric in the middle of it like it had been used as a button.  From what I can tell, the coin dates somewhere between 1875 and 1908.
