I have a 1,2,and 5 Mun cash coin that appear to be made of brass as opposed to copper or bronze. Are these what are called seed or mother coins?

It's interesting how there's no clipped edge.

Can't comment more than just by mentioning that Korean Mun where generally made from brass.
Never seen such clear examples as the first and the last though.

The first and third coin seem to be mother coins. Quite scarce in any condition.
