Would have loved to keep it green but the AZ dirt was just too packed in it. Cleaning up nicely but it’s a process.

1736 Boo Cuwan Chinese Coin

Amazing find! It sat on my junk table for a week, I thought it was a washer, until my fellow md friend Christian saw it and said “I think that is a Chinese coin!” So we soaked it overnight in lemon juice and the above photos is how it turned out! ❤️❤️❤️

1736 China Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong Cash Board of Revenue 

乾隆通宝宝泉局

Diameter -22.50mm

Thickness 1.35mm

The Qianlong Emperor (25 September 1711 – 7 February 1799) was the fifth Emperor of the Qing dynasty, and the fourth Qing emperor to rule over China proper, reigned from 1735 to 1796. Born Hongli, the fourth son of the Yongzheng Emperor, he reigned officially from 11 October 1735 to 8 February 1796. In 1796, he abdicated in favour of his son, the Jiaqing Emperor—a filial act in order not to reign longer than his grandfather, the Kangxi Emperor, who ruled for 61 years. Despite his retirement, however, he retained ultimate power as the Retired Emperor until his death in 1799; he thus was one of the longest-reigning de facto rulers in the history of the world, and dying at the age of 87, one of the longest-lived. As a capable and cultured ruler inheriting a thriving empire, during his long reign the Qing Empire reached its most splendid and prosperous era, boasting a large population and economy. As a military leader, he led military campaigns expanding the dynastic territory to the largest extent by conquering and sometimes destroying Central Asian kingdoms. This turned around in his late years: the Qing empire began to decline with corruption and wastefulness in his court and a stagnating civil society.
