"Please help me identify the coin I've attached. It has been in my family for generations, starting with my great-grandfather's collection. It is a ten-cent coin minted in the 16th year of Emperor Kuang Hsu's reign in the Qing Dynasty, specifically in 1890, at the Fukien mint. I would appreciate it if someone could estimate its approximate value." The diameter of this coin is about 1.9mm, and its weight is 7.2 candareen.

If you lens your image, you'll find these coins appear to have been minted by several (if not every) province in China. Some of the values being asked online seem ridiculous, but a couple of more reputable coin sites list them between $20-$30(US).
Province may affect value, like a mint mark.
If it were mine, I would take it to a reputable specialist in Chinese numismatics.
