I can't really see the back much, but check out the coins at this site and you can probably find your coin: https://www.catawiki.com/catalog/coins/countries/59933-china
Nice find!
Nice find!
Thanks! I found one just like it from the Qing Dynasty dated 1820-1850. Which would make it my oldest coin by at least 4 years.

Your obverse of your cash coin is:
Emperor HSUAN TSUNG
AD 1821-1850
Reign title: TAO-KUANG, AD 1821-1850
The reverse of your cash coin is:
"BOO HO" (Honan mint). The Manchu mint name translates to Pao-Ho. This particular example has a small circle at the bottom of the reverse, and there are other types with other symbols at the top or bottom of the reverse. This mint operated between 1898 and 1905.
