#2 is, as you've probably guessed, Chinese Imperial. You'll find it in the 1900s Krause catalogue in the Provincial section under Kiangsu province, Chingkiang Mint subsection. It bears the cyclical date correlating to AD 1905. This example seems similar to yours and is listed as KM/Y# 78.3; I'm not exactly sure which of the four varieties listed for this date in Krause yours is.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
