✅ SOLVED Partial Chinese Coin Help

[winslow]

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 ).

AD 1662-1722[/h][h=3]reign title: K'ANG-HSI, AD 1662-1722[/h]Your obverse with four characters is
(top-bottom-right-left) K'ANG/HSI/T'UNG/PAO

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".
