Hello everyone, I have only recently started cataloging my collection online and am having some trouble finding the correct details for this coin (see attachment).

I believe there is "Qian Long Tong Bao" is written on the front and that it comes from the Qing dynasty. On the reverse is normally the mintmark "Boo Ciowan" which according to wikipedia would mean that it comes from the Ministry of Finance (vs the Ministry of Labor that made similar coins). So it would also have been made in the Zhili province of China.
Is this coin already in the catalog? I have searched a lot of this type of coin and every time there are small differences (eg a different text with the correct mintmark or vice versa). I would really appreciate it if someone could show me the correct spot in the catalog or give me some extra info so that I can add it myself if it isn't already there. For example, I have absolutely no idea of how much this coin is worth or what year it would have come from. I also see that the prices of similar coins can differ from 1 to about 60 euros. (in the dodo catalogue, on ebay it is often higher)

Thank you in advance!

(PS: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1133.html also has useful info about this coin but says nothing about the value)

You could also enter it on LD and someone might see it and correct it with price

RickM 
They contain the same characters, but they are not completely identical.
That also applied to the original images that you replaced on 07-01-2013.

Hello Comic Pins, there are 2 variants in it. Indeed, there are many variants, which can make the dating even more accurate. Unfortunately, I lack the knowledge to further break down these variants. However, there are other more specific (online) catalogs for that.

I hadn't heard that argument in a while.

There is a catalog of David Hartill for this. The best work I know for the western collector. I also have a lot of variants in my collection, but it is a terribly time-consuming process to put them all on Lastdodo. With the disadvantage that almost all 80 variants will get the same KM# number.

WERELDMUNTEN Thanks for the tip! I found a pdf of it and extracting the correct details was indeed anything but simple work. In the end I managed to determine my specific variant so I have now added it myself under #8741461 

RickM Thanks for the reference, that coin is very closely related to mine so I was able to use it as a base when entering it.

It would be easy for me if you forward it, because I don't know much about it.
