What is this coin?

[Prosit]

I think I saw one very similar on WoC one time but don't recall where.
What country and coin is this? Korea? China?

Obverse like in Toda #212 - Chinese intervention in Tunquin

So is that 18th century?

Never heard of Toda.

It is a coin of the Quianlong emperor (Ch'ien Lung, 1735-1796) from Chengdu mint in Sichuan province, Hartill 22.335

Toda [http://art-hanoi.com/toda/ ] is a catalogue of Annamese/Vietnamese coins, and they did copy the designs of many Chinese coins, but I'm sure this is from China itself. Toda 212 is in a neater style and has different characters on the reverse.
