Well, it's sure built like a seed coin, very fine detail and slightly larger. Besides suffering some corrosion the basic piece has a fissure/ sand hole that should have kept if from being used as a seed coin. My only explanation is that it might have been rejected as a seed coin and somehow avoided the re-melting pot.
This coin was purchased from Frank Robinson, the well known collector/dealer of Asian coins. KM# 1435; 40 mm.
In this photo has the Obverse/Reverse images are flipped.
