    Yes, but 2 time periods, 2 different emperors. @Heavymetal

    1736-1795 Qian Long Tong Bao on the coin = Ch’ien-lung T’ung-pao (Emperor).
    KM#391.

    1796-1820 Jian Qing Tong Bao on the coin = Chia-ch’ing T’ung-pao (Emperor).
    KM#442.1

    This is from a query at NGC World Coin Catalog from 4 days ago.

    BOTH have Boo yuwan on the reverse. More info at Primaltrek.com.

    I have 2 of each emperor…Spark

    “Tong Bao” means “Universal Currency”…added for clarification.

    The obv (4 characters) should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the rev needs to be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.
