        maybe the Portuguese traded with the Chinese before they sailed around north Africa maybe they had traded for the coin and it ended up there. Yet we were not there so we don't know. But i know that before the Chinese banned trading they traded with they Portuguese.

          Maybe thats true!! or the kenyans traded with some country close to China like India or Korea and the other trader had a Chinese coin!!

          It actually is a Chinese coin because as you can see only Chinese coins have a square middle. If you also look up the Chinese alphabet you will see that the writing refers to Chinese letters.

              I think it is a Korean coin because it looks like one. And many time people mistake Chinese for Korean
