Thank you for the reference.  I'll continue searching the database for similar examples. Although, despite the weight, composition, and petina, it's possible that the medallion could be a fake or a novelty?  We'll see…

You may try to identify each chararcter by the mean of Google translate, manuscrit writing: 

There is an obvious character that means Buddha

Even though it refers to a japan generic coin, characters are old chinese.

Callygraphy is with bold font so probably modern, you might find relations to buddhism in the reference site for charms :
