The reverse needs to rotate 180, but it's not hard to read. I think the obverse also needs to come around 180. I have a feeling this will be easier to find than the first two (not that I've given up on those; just working on them when attention permits).

I think I have found this to be:  Emperor SHENG TSU AD 1662-1722 with the reverse indicating: S-1422, "BOO YUWAN" (Board of Works mint). The Manchu mint name translates to Pao-yuan or "The Source of all Currency".    http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/china8.htm#kang hsi

If not that one, certainly one near to it. Sometimes the only variance is the thickness of the rim band, or in the way the characters are rendered.
