It's a square foot Spade like this:

But there are significant differences in style compared to the Zeno and Hartill examples i saw, but I'm not an expert in this field. Therefore I leave the authenticity assessment to others.

Sadly it is extremely unlikely that this is genuine.

There are some spade type coins that are not too rare and can occasionally be found for a good price but with these marking this one would be very rare and expensive if genuine.

The patina and condition match typical Chinese fakes.
