It appears to be Chinese - Qing Dynasty - Emperor: Jen Tsung (1796-1820 a.d.)- Reign Title: Chia Ch'ing (1796-1820 a.d.)- Board of Revenue Mint.

Actually, it's from the reign of the Qian Long emperor (1735-1796). The top pic is upside-down.

I would also diagree as to mint attribution; it's hard to read on this coin, but I believe the Manchu mint-name is actually "chuwan", not the "chiowan" of the Revenue mint; it is therefore from the Chengdu mint in Sichuan Province.

If you love it, it is priceless... and that coin has been well loved

I have similar and they were priced at one time at about $5 each. but I'm betting mint numbers were not low and the quality is not great. A few bucks maybe would be my guess.

While it is not the most common cash coin - the Revenue Mint examples of Qian Long are far more common - it is nevertheless a cheap, common type, of the kind you are likely to find in a coin dealer's "Chinese coins - $2 each" bucket.

Here is the Krause catalogue entry for it.
