The medal seems to be a crude copy of a $5 gold - obviously the copy isn't golden. The Ottoman may be gold, but I don't see any silver.

Nope, no gold or silver there, sorry. The "Ottoman" one is a brass replica of a gold coin, commonly used in that part of the world for costume jewellery. The Chinese coin is a typical brass "cash" of the Qian Long emperor (ruled AD 1735-1796), Revenue mint; despite being so old, they're extremely common.

yes - value is going to be pretty low on these, £3-£4

But it's much more fun to think on who actually used them.

I'll get at least a pound each for them at the bootsale on Saturday and sunday I know a man who buys the foreign ones.
I paid 5.20 for them.
