Probably just chinese, though the octagonal shape for a coin in that condition is slightly strange. Commemorative maybe?

>Hit the Chinese button!

It says "indescribable" (无法形容)

Alright, I did a little research for you, OP. and found this

>Gold coin/award associated with a Chinese secret society. Octagonal with a square hole in the centre. Modelled on the traditional Chinese 'cash' coins which were round with a square hole in the middle, with the inscription arranged as on the coins. The shape of this piece calls to mind the expression 四面八方 (si mian ba fang) literally meaning "four sides and eight

I know nothing of chinese characters, though some googling found that the character for '8' does sort of look like the character on the bottom of your coin.

Now I'm intrigued. Where did you find it?

You realise that OP is either a complete idiot, or is baiting you, right?

>>18097868
Yeah but either way it doesn't hurt to google when I have nothing better to do. I've been searching for 10 minutes and haven't found a single coin that matches that octagonal shape in the modern era.

I am still intrigued. Or is this something really obvious and I'm the idiot?

its a goddamn good luck coin you fucking dumb shit

>>18097707
Top one I think is 'method,' the right one is 'shape'.

无法 = unable
形容 = to describe

i.e. "unable to describe" hence Lovecraft

>>18097890
heh. good point

Op here. I found the coin online here: http://campaigncoins.com/coins/call-of-cthulhu/
