Hi, hope someone can help with this.  Appears to have chinese writing on it.  Silver, 14mm excluding loop, 1.8g including loop.
May be a medalet as the loop could possibly be an integral part of the piece.
Thanks

If this is a real coin, the mix of Chinese and Arab suggest it is likely from Xinjiang (various spellings). In your first photo, the mintname in Arab looks to be Kashghar. But there are quite a lot imitations of these, both contemporary and modern.

Indeed, as THCoins says, no warrant for the authenticity of your coin, but this should be the type it is representing: "5 Fen / Half Miscal":
