Hello and welcome.

I'm reasonably sure these are all replicas. The first four pics definitely are replicas.

For future pics, it is helpful to post one coin per thread. Or at least front and back pics of each coin, making it clear which pics belong to the same coin. The replica-makers often mis-match obverses and reverses on their replicas.

Also, weight to the nearest tenth of a gram and diameter to at least the nearest mm are needed to help determine authenticity.

I read up on some topics, so I took better photos with light shining on it. This coin is weighted 27gram and not attracted to magnet.

I dont have a precision weighting scale available, it only shows e.g. 27 or 30g and no decimal point available.

Thanks, anyone can advise whether these coins look authentic or replica?. These coins are hand me down from my grandpa, could also possibly be replica from donkey years ago.

They look like replicas. Look like the Kiang Nan is missing the Manchu script.
You can compare to this one:

They're cool looking. Not a bad reason to keep them.
