This is an undated Chinese charm coin, designed in the traditional square-holed coin shape.

The obverse side bears the inscription “Fang Jin He He,” with “He He” being a Buddhist term emphasising harmony in human relationships. Based on this, it can be inferred that this charm coin was likely intended as an offering to a temple. The reverse side of the coin is worn smooth due to age, making it impossible to determine whether any inscriptions were originally present.

這是一枚年代不明的中國花錢，其形制為中國傳統的方孔錢。錢幣正面寫有「方金和合」四字，按字義的佛教用語「和合」，即強調人際的和諧為判斷，這枚花錢應該是用以供養寺廟的花錢。錢幣背面因年代久遠，其表面被磨平無法辨識是否有任何銘文。
