Can Anyone Tell Me What These Are

Much appreciated. I`m still learning on this stuff so all the help possible is grate. Even if they arn`t worth tons of cash they are still cool for the age factor.

Ya I looked up the Dynasty and was startled. Ya ya know the age of these coins and where they are from is cool factor enough but some value would be nice to. Yes I will get you much better pics, these have kinda been in the centre of my collection since I got them.

The top coin bears the inscription of a 2-cash coin from the Song Dynasty, Xi Ning zhong bao, or "large coin of the Xi Ning emperor". The Japanese made copies of Xi Ning coins to trade with Vietnam in the 1600s, but those trade copies have the inscription "Xi Ning tong bao" instead, so I believe yours is a genuine Song Dynasty coin. "Xi Ning" was the first reign-name of Emperor Shenzong; the Xi Ning period lasted from AD 1068 to AD 1078, so your coin is almost 1000 years old. Despite its age, it is not particularly rare or valuable - the Song Dynasty was wealthy and powerful at the time, so their coins are quite common, far more common than European coins of the same vintage.

Here's a link to the Zeno.ru database page for these coins.

The bottom coin also looks Song Dynasty in appearance, though the combination of "grass script" calligraphy and the corrosion on the coin itself makes it too hard for me to read. But I'm reasonably sure the picture is upside-down.

Ya weird? I looked it up the other day and a guy was selling one in a bit better shape then mine for 128$ on ebay now they are at 13$ I`m new so I just like the 1000 year old coin factor and where I received it. If it has value it will just be more later on. Thanks for The feedback you answered the big question. So Thanks Again.
