Any help on identifying them? I know they're not all from China like the 2x2 says, but that's why I never trust the coin dealer they came from.

I didn't buy them, by the way. I was given them.

I'll split it into two posts with two coins in each post.

It is actually a Korean sang pyong tong bo coin cast in the year 1731 by the Treasury Department.

More information on these coins may be found at my website

Yes, it was struck at the Guangzhou mint during the years 1890-1899.
