Yep, cash coin. Can't tell you the date, but someone here will. They KNOW everything here. Scary, but close to the truth.

The best site I've found for ID ing cash coins is http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/chinaid.htm#square hole
The picture of the obverse makes it a little hard to nail down but the "BOO" character on the left on the reverse seems to indicate the Ching dynasty.
