I posted a similar coin a few months ago, and was given this website:

Try and see if you can find it there, some of them look pretty similar to yours, I just had a look. Good luck!

That's a Chinese Cash Coin.
Emperor SHIH TSU
AD 1644-1661
reign title: SHUN CHIH, AD 1644-1661
Obverse:
Top: SHUN / Bottom: CHIH / Left: TUNG / Right: Pao
Reverse:
Right: BOO / Left: CIOWAN
(Board of Revenue mint).
"This coin was cast in the year of the Emperor's reign (1644). It was issued from the mint attached to the Board of Revenue at Peking, and bears on the reverse the inscription in Manchu letters Boo Ciowan, being the transcript of the two Chinese characters Pao Ch'uan, 'the Fountain Head of the Currency." The money from this mint served as a model for the provincial coinages"
