Hello ED!

It is definitely Chinese, and I believe it is called a "Cash" coin.
There are members here who will tell you the proper period and Emperor.

In truth, we work together to solve these little mysteries. We all have fun doing so.

The reverse side (top image) indicates that the coin was cast at the mint in Suzhou, Jiangsu which would be the years 1668-1670.

I'm going to be a pest and ask for more help. This one I don't think is Chinese but I am not an expert like many here are. So, here goes and thanks again.

This one is Japanese, 5 yen.
It is dated Showa (the era of emperor Hirohito) year 49, which equals AD 1974.

And welcome to the forum!

SVSLAV,
Thank you for your quick reply. I guess I was right about it not being Chinese.
Thank you!

Okay here are the last two scans. I haven't a clue what it is. I don't even know if it is a coin.
Thanks again.

Thank Philadephian,
As soon as I scanned it I saw the face and decided it wasn't a coin,but anything is possible.
By the way I used to live across the river from the old shipyard.
