China - 1 Cash Coin

Qing (Ching) Dynasty

Chan-lung / Qianlong Emperor

Boo Ciowan

Coins were not minted with dates, but this form was used between 1795 to 1799

The Qianlong Emperor (Chien-lung Emperor) was the sixth emperor of the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty, and the fourth Qing emperor to rule over China proper. The fourth son of the Yongzheng Emperor, he reigned officially from 11 October 1735 to 8 February 1796. On 8 February, he abdicated in favor of his son, the Jiaqing Emperor – a filial act in order not to reign longer than his grandfather, the illustrious Kangxi Emperor. Despite his retirement, however, he retained ultimate power until his death in 1799. Although his early years saw the continuation of an era of prosperity in China, his final years saw troubles at home and growing foreign encroachment on the Qing Empire.

The insciption of Boo Ciowan indicates that this coin was minted at the Board of Revenue mint in Bejing. The Manchu mint name translates to Pao-Ch'uan, or "The Fountain head of the Currency".

There are two basic series to the coins of Ch'ien-lung. The primary series has the regular Ch'ien-lung inscription, produced at many mints throughout his reign. This is the second type and is referred to as the Shan-lung commemorative issue, with two upright strokes added to the bottom of the character "Lung", and is thought to have been issued during the period from his abdication in 1795 to his death in 1799.
