Chinese usually refer to these coins as mixiqian which means "secret play" or "secret fun" coins. They are also known as bi huo qian which means "hide (evade) the fire (of lust) coins". In English, they are variously referred to as Chinese marriage coins, Chinese love coins, Chinese spring money, Chinese erotic coins, Chinese wedding coins, etc. This example was likely cast in the late Qing Dynasty as the fabric of the metal and casting style is older than most found on the market.
