THATS ONE OF THOSE CHINESE TRICK COINS WHERE THEY NEVER INCLUDED THE ROUND PEG, THAT YOU WOULD TRY TO PUT IN THE SQUARE HOLE. NICE FIND 643.

I would guess 1796-1820...a common find here

It's called a 'cash' coin.
The image on the right still has not been ID-ed.
I believe it will tell you the reign years of the emperor and his name.
