Hi.

Picture is upside down.

Chinese coin from emperor Qianlong, so NOT a Korean coin !

A picture of the other side is mandatory for a complete identification.

 Rotated as suggested. What is the diameter?

Without images of the reverse we cannot give you a 100% complete ID, but it is a Qing Dynasty Chinese cash cast under the Qianlong Emperor (1735-1796)

Qing Dynasty of China

Qianlong Emperor

“Boo-U” mint (Wuchang, Hubei)

1743-1794

 

N#28092

No need to measure; there’s no need to use diameter or weight to ID these Qing cash the vast majority of the time

Please open a new thread for each coin.

This was the new machin-made cash coin, but the cash coins of early issues were allowed to continue their circulation in the market.
