These are some commonly counterfeited coins. In order to determine authenticy, please provide weight and edge pictures. If the coins weight ~27 grams, there's a chance they are genuine. If much less (~22 grams), I'd say fake.

I can't tell you much about the Spanish one, but the US Trade dollar is definitely fake, the details are just all wrong. That being said the Spanish one also looks off. |

IF genuine, quite a lot, since the surfaces seem very clear and both coins are very sought after. That being said, I sadly don't think they're are genuine.

I agree with Slurexe. There is NO doubt the Trade dollar is a poor cast reproduction. |

Unfortunately, it is absolutely certain that both of these coins are fake.

In my humble opinion the top coin looks fake because it has a readied edge and the 8 Reales from that time period are not reeded in that manner.

Oh dear, oh dear. Are you buying these in a local market or coin/junk shop?
If so I would stop. Not one of them strikes me as genuine and I have seen lots of these here in Thailand as well.

Since they look to be made of the same material and are covered in the same green gunk I would say that none of them are real.
The "United Maxxico States" is a known fantasy piece. None of the rest look right either.
