Good afternoon fellow Coinheads,
I require sone help with identifying this coin my wife has come across.
I have managed to learn that it is a Chinese coin from Qin dynasty or end of, correct me if I am wrong. But would like help determine the age and place of production as I cannot manage to find the same mint online. Thanks in advance.

Please always make the best picture you can, no need for a large frame around.

Seems to be a coin from Emperor Jen Tsung (1796-1820),
sorry but the picture does not allow me to determine the mintmark with confidence.

Qianlong not Jiaqing. Probably Board of Revenue if it is real (I see the io and N in Ciowan). Need better pictures.

Qianlong, Board of Works (Boo Yuwan).
Looks like it was corroded then harshly cleaned and polished up.
