It's in Traditional Chinese, but that's all I know! I promise I'll give half of the gold to the first person who translates it.

Second image, clockwise from the left:
simplified character & meaning
宝 treasure/valuable
康 health
通 common
熈 not in the dictionary I looked in, most similar character is 熙 which means prosperous/merry

EDIT: other image uses two archaic old-style pictograms (?), so I have NO clue.

EDIT 3: NVM according to wikipedia 通宝 is a common inscription on coins dating from the Tang dynasty and later.
... and 康熈 is the name of a famous emperor.

It's a really old school chinese coin, it looks like. Assuming you already knew that. Early 1900s maybe, according to wiki.

Kang Xi (康熈) is the second emperor of the Qing dynasty, 17th century ish. 通宝 means "common treasure," aka, legal tender.

I'll take most of my share of the treasure in cash, and the rest of it in briefcases with which to hold the cash. Thankee.

But, would someone mind explaining this to the folk who have no clue as to what you people are talking about? It's seems interesting.

Its a coin from the kang xi period of the qing dynasty. 1662-1722.

More than the 50 cents my friend paid for it! He said he got it from a bin full of them and none of them looked the same, so I thought it would be something either very cliche (love, friendship etc) or something totally random (watermelon, chair). Since I'll never find out if it's counterfeit or not, I'll treasure it as something 300 years old that passed thru the hands of many a noble chineseman.

I'll take most of my share of the treasure in cash, and the rest of it in briefcases with which to hold the cash. Thankee.

Oh, did I say gold? I meant SENTIMENTAL gold.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!
