The Bao Tong diameter of your stem is only 17mm, which is much smaller than that of other ordinary stem-long baotong. This is probably because it is a local private coin.

Among the coins handed down from generation to generation, many were minted privately by local governments, not officially. In order to reduce the cost, the diameter, size and thickness of privately minted coins may be artificially reduced. So your Qianlong Bao Tong may be a private coin here, and its size is smaller than that of the ordinary Qianlong Bao Tong.
