The first coin is a phantasy coin.
The second coin is a 10 cash from the Szechuan Province. I suppose the date is 1906.

China likes to issue sets of "coins" commemorating famous people, places, etc.

These "coins" are actually "medals" and cannot be used as money.

In this case, the second image identifies the series as "Persons of the Three Kingdoms" (san guo ren wu).

The Three Kingdoms was a period (220-280 AD) in Chinese history marked by constant warfare and has been immortalized in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The first image identifies the person on this "coin" in the series as the famous General Ma Chao (176-222 AD).
