Hmm...I think this is upside down, sorry!
Looking at past cash coins here, this appears to be the Qian Long emperor (1736-1795)?

Yep. This one's from the "other Beijing mint", the Board of Revenue. Also very common.

As for "right way up", the left pic (obverse) is upside down. The right pic (reverse) should be rotated clockwise 90 degrees, so the Manchu word that looks like three 9's stuck together is on the left hand side.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
