The only thing I can add about the bigger coin is that it was struck in Kwangtung province (at Canton), 1890 - 1908.

Don't know about the other.

It's the mysterious "World of Brightness" coin.

Thanks guys, haha I didn't know at all the bigger one was real. Mostly due to the low weight, but also because it looked mechanically made!

The other one seems very interesting as well, looking at the information manymore gave in the link. Love it, a mystery coin
