Well, maybe 1800s. I do not have much experience with narrowing these things down, but to me, it looks like a Tao-Kuang Boo-ciowan one, which would date from 1821 to 1850.

Link!

**To get that link to work, you need to copy and paste the entire thing into the search bar and change it so the space before China is gone, both Chinas are un-capitalized, and the space between tao and kuang is still there. It does not seem to work otherwise.

Thanks for the link! It gave me some helpful info. Actually, my grandma's friend gave a bag of foreign coins to my grandma and gave them to me to search though. And I found this in that bag!
