3.606 g weight, 23.6 mm diameter. Any information about this?

N#28094

Hartill# 22.487 subtype.

Obverse inscription: My coin has 興朝通寶 (Xingchao Tongbao), a rebel/Southern Ming transitional issue from Sun Kewang’s regime in Yunnan (~1648–1657). Jiaqing Tongbao is 嘉慶通寶 (Jiaqing Tongbao), from the official Qing emperor Jiaqing (1796–1820). The characters are completely different—興朝 vs. 嘉慶.
