Need help on dug Chinese coin

[Gridwalker306]

Long story short-- 4 inches of soil scraped off empty lot down the street, found a few coins including my first old Chinese coin. I'd like to know where it came from, and I really want to know what year it was minted. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks...

Period: Kang Hsi (1661-1722)
Mint: Peking, Board of Public Works

O	KANG HSI TUNG PAO
Coinage of Steady Prosperity
R	BOO [in Manchu left] YUWAN [Board of Public Works] [in Manchu right] White background is my coin, black background is the one I saw online. Let me know what you think...

Looks good. It is the only one to have the 4 dots at the bottom.
