The top coin looks like some kind of token.
Moneta is Latin for money, Revalie was a medieval province of Estonia, Livonia was a medieval country where modern Latvia and Estonia are, and magistri means teachers.
Hope this gives you something to go on.

The top coin is a copper reproduction of a silver pfennig of the Livonian Order, struck in the city the Knights called Reval (now known as Tallinn, capital city of Estonia). The original coins date from roughly 1350-1500.

The Chinese coin is also a fake.

There was no mint during the Qing Dynasty identified with the Manchu character shown on the coin.

Another example of this coin may be seen at this Chinese forum website.

The forum members there all agree that the coin is a fake.
