Chinese 'Chien-Lung' Coin 1736-1795

Greetings All,
Got permission to search a new area today, pulled 3 nice finds in the 30 minutes I had, can't wait to spend some more time here !
Here's something I never expected to dig,
A Chinese cast brass coin from the reign of Emperor Chien-Lung 1736-1795.
I wasn't even sure of the country, or which way was up!
I found a character on the coin that resembled 'EZ', & then browsed the pages,
got a positive match on the obverse, (which denotes the Empire)
can't find an exact match on reverse, many were close, but not close enough.
Great digs to you All! Thanks for looking
Bottom pic is the exact coin now, Thanks Mackaydon!
