Too bad the coin doesn't have a western numeral date on it... Anyone read Chinese? The coin looks like it once was drilled as a medallion, so it could predate the sword, and/or the sword modification. looks like it's been there for a while tho. Coins were good luck charms, a 'sword' of coins tied with a lucky red ribbon was auspicious.
