50 year old questionquestion

I've had this coin most of my life. Ya think after 50 years I would of found out what it was. What stage of procrastinating would that be. Help a gal out.

Looks like a Ch'ien Lung Boo Yuan. That would mean it was struck sometime within 1795-1799.

 

The side with four characters will help you determine the era, the side with two characters the mint. Appears to be from the era of Emperor Gao Zong (1736-95) based on David Hartill's "Cast Chinese Coins". The Standard Catalog Of World Coins lists the same as under Kao Tsung, Reign title: Ch'ien-lung (Qianlong).
