Obverse: BAN LIANG, 半兩, Two characters flanking a square hole and no rims.
Reverse: No legend. Possible brockage, no rims.
Reference: None at present.
Ex: ECIN (Every Coin In Numismatics)
Chinese coins during this period are difficult to attribute to any particular time. Ban Liang coins are also a generic coinage that was issued for a few hundred years. Starting as large and heavy coins, they diminished in weight and diameter. This particular coin could be the later period of the Ban Liang coins. This coin has no rims and has a diameter of 24mm which is consistent with the later period coins. Going by weight doesn't help when attributing these coins as the weight is variable even among coins with the same diameter.

Reverse: No legend, Thick outer rim, thin inner square rim.

Ex: ECIN (Every Coin In Numismatics)
Kai Yuan Tong Bao or "The Inaugural Universal Currency" was a standard in the Tang Dynasty for around 300 years. Another generic coin, but has a much more modern style that carries on to the end of the cash coin.
These cast coins were well made, as well as having regulations where citizens were no longer allowed to mint coins as they once were. The penalty for minting coins was death. The alloy composition also had a standard regulation of 83% copper, 15% lead, and 2% tin. Although, testing seemed to produce different results for a lot of coins.
