My similar coins are referenced  Hartill 22.324-326

22.324: The Z part of qian 乾 looks like a hook

22.325: The Z part of qian 乾 looks like a Z

22.326:  The head of the tong 通 is triangular

The coin shown has a Z part which looks like a Z and a regular closed  head of the tong, similar to 22.325,

but there is another more similar coin (Hartill Qing Cash, 21.30) with narrow bei (This is the rectangular part of the bao), which fits best.

(Pictures below show Z qian, hook qian and a regular (not narrow) "Bei" segment)
