This is another from a lot I purchased this past weekend. Easily identified as from the reign of Kao Tsung (1736-1795) and as such pretty ordinary and almost certainly of no great value. However, I'm not recognizing the rather simple mint mark, altough it seems to me that it somewhat resembles that for Fukien Province.

As Albert writes it is probably from Taiyuan, Shansi Province. This link may confirm for you:-

Scroll down to "Boo-Jin. Taiyuan, Shansi".

Thank you both, that identification would seem to be correct.

See: http://www.catawiki.com/catalog/coi...sh-1736-1795

For whatever reason, this mint seems to have been omitted on another website I routinely use to help me sort out the markings on Chinese cash coins.
