Hello, I am Looking to have 30 plus coins Identified. I am Looking for the country of origin, Date(if not already on it in English, Country's value and It's converted to United State Dollar value, Coin's Composite, and if possible today's value of the coin in USD. I'm not trading nor selling these coins I got them from friends of the family station over seas through-out the last 20 plus year with no real clue as to what they are other then nice gifts from them. Any information is appreciated. I will split up all the coins into single post a few at a time so they can be sorted into other parts of the forum as they are Identified.

This coin appears to have some type of glue on it either hot glue or superglue not sure yet.

This coin is a "cash" from the Chinese Empire, during the reign of the Qian Long emperor (who reigned from 1735 to 1796). Cast (not struck) in Yunnan Province. A very common coin, typical of what you might find in a coin dealer's "Chinese cash coins - $2 each" tray. However, this coin seems to have been unofficially painted or plated with gold, which is now peeling off; that would make it less attractive to a collector.

It definitely looks like somethign was applied. It's not uncommon to find cards of coins made up of various reigns (coming out of China) - some of these are actualy stuck on with glue - so it's not beyuond the realms of possibility but Sap's probably right with some sort of gold paint.
