Hi all,

I was wondering if you could help me ID these two cash coins.

I thought the first one was a Su Tsung coin and the second one a northern song taizong coin but for both the character on the right does not match.

Hoping you can help me with these, thanks in advance!

The top coin is Liao Dynasty, Tian Zuo (1101-1125), Qiantong Yuanbao, like this https://www.zmkm8.com/bklist842/ The confusion comes as Liao coins are read clockwise from the top, while a lot of other coins are top-bottom-right-left.

I think the second is Tai Ping Sheng bao, which is Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (1861-1864). I'm not sure why it wouldn't have a reverse inscription, like this: http://www.cangzhi.net/article-4414.html, but this one seems not to: https://read01.com/5Pg36L.html#.Y9bmKHbP3MY
