✅ SOLVED Partial Chinese Coin Help

I'm wondering if there is enough info on this coin to date it ?? Found near gold placer mining area.

Don't know where the rest of the coin is . I didn't slice it (at least I better not have ).

Your reverse with the two characters is
"BOO CIOWAN" (Board of Revenue mint). The Manchu mint name translates to Pao-Ch'uan, or "The Fountain head of the Currency".
