    I'm hoping to find out about this piece. I found it while thrifting today in Maine. It measures 4 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" wide.
    I'm not sure what it is made from, how old it might be and what significance it may hold?
    Thank you for any information that can be shared.

      mnemonics maybe later the computer has to regenerate this , because it is completely out of stylizing

      well it is made from coins it is likely a feng shui which is a home protecter . let,s say a charm

      the period of the currency most be a knowbrainer , have to loke for the japanese also , because the symbols intertwine partly

      to me Tongbao' = 'circulating treasure' and means 'coin' is unkown i ran the qing dynasty

      this is probably an feng shui for the blessing prosperity
