Thumbs up Found In My Nieces Yard

Found this last weekend in my nieces yard and thought it would be hard to find out what it was, but just looked up the words on the edge and bada-bing-bada-boom the internet delivers again. It is a 10 cash Hupei Dragon copper Circular coin was inssued in 1906 with the ***agenary year written in Chinese "Ping Wu" on the obverse. And it is extremely heavy and about the same size as a silver dollar. I also found $5.50 in clad quarters, a heavily worn 1920 (?) Mercury dime and a hand full of memorial cents. Not a bad afternoon! Sorry it is so hard to see, had to use scanner.
