Please help to translate and identify the marking on this cast iron tray which looks to be a Japanese Nambu Tekky. Any additional info including possible date of production is appreciated.

Into the bottom of the Nanbu Tekki made ashtray the enlarged head and tail side of a Chinese Han Dynasty knife-shaped commodity money is cast.
Top and bottom (Head),
大利千萬　-　Tens of thousands of large profits
Middle (Tail),
五百　　　-　500
Back side of ashtray,
南部　　　-　Nanbu

With regards,
I.Nagy
