Have you tried your local Chinese restaurant.

The moral of the story here is make sure all your coins are ID'd.

Possibly Japanese silver, can you give me the weight, and I'll have a go

Is this one coin or two? Bigger pictures would help

Can't find anything for certain in Kraus, their illustrations and yours show too little datail

Could be something like these

Suggest you try the British Museum or ask the folks at Oriental Coin Database
