Awhile back i found this coin on the beach in Oregon,along with some others.I have been told that this coin is possibly from the Qing Dynasty period 1664-1912. I have been having a hard time finding somebody qualified to authenticate this coin.I was told that the symbols on the obverse are in Chinese and Manchu.Apparently this did happen but it is supposed to be of the rarest.If anybody has any leads to anyone in the Pacific Northwest corner of Oregon i would greatly appreciate it.
 
Most coins of this period were minted in Peking and had a "Boo" mark on the left and the mint mark on the right both in Manchu script. I don't read Manchu but I do read Chinese. All the others are written in Chinese.

Dynasty: Ch'ing (1644 - 1911 a.d.)
Emperor: Sheng Tsu (1661-1722 a.d.)
Reign Title: Kang Hsi (1661-1722 a.d.)

value on most of these is about $3.00 for very fine condition unless it is a T'AI mint, Taiwan. This coin may be a Taiwan coin.
Taiwan coins from this era are valued from $5.00 - $100.00 or so
sorry I could not be much more help.
