Hello. I'm new here. I would really appreciate any help in identifying these coins. I assume they are Chinese. They DO react to magnets. Are they worth anything or are they just cheap knock-offs or what-not?

I'm happy to provide any other information if it would be helpful.

Thanks!

They are not Chinese coins (money) but rather Chinese commemorative medals.

Your second image identifies them as the "Five Tiger Generals of the Three Kingdoms" (三国人物äº"虎上将).

The first image identifies the specific generals as (left to right): Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Guan Yun Chang, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei.

Another set of these souvenir medals may be seen at this Chinese website.

These "coins" can be bought in China for a dollar or two each.

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I figured they were just souvenirs, but I wanted to make sure. Hope you're having a great day!
