Is this Chinese coin genuine?

Croggy · 2017-11-10T19:04:14+0000

Evening All I stumbled across this Chinese coin today whilst metal detecting in Nottingham of all places. I didn't really know anything about ancient Chinese coins, but having carried out a bit of research on the internet, I've come to the conclusion it is a Kangxi (1662-1722) (Boo Fu). It is 24mm in diameter. Please could anyone with any knowledge of Chinese coins please take a look and let me know your thoughts on whether it is genuine and how it might have ended up in a field in Nottingham? Many Thanks Croggy
