The two solid round ones are 10 cash from China - early 1900 era.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 05/15/2016 5:34 pm I tried by saving and enhancing and rotating images to get the best view but I failed because I think they are too worn for me to make a positive ID. They don't have to be early 1900's but they could be. The emperor on the coin was in power from the late 1800s up to about 1908. But here's a clue: if you could magnify and rotate the coin to see if you can find any remnants of letters like HU-POO you could have a restrike of the 20 Cash coin from the time of the Chinese Empire. Or if other, then it's likely to be among those other coins found on similar pages in the catalogs showing copper coins in those early 1900s.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 3:20 pm If you had a whole bunch of time, you could probably match up the dragons on your two 20 cash to get an ID. There are some stylistic differences that can help you at least narrow it down to 2-3 provinces. That said, these are (mostly) very common coins and worth less than $1 in this condition. The fertility token is interesting. I cannot tell if it is genuine or not, but these were apparently given out to young newlyweds who were too illiterate to read instructions and were otherwise clueless about the birds and the bees.
