Notice the bubbling on 1 and 2...first sign of a fake...any Chinese coin of this type is HIGHLY counterfeited, a genuine coin is worth s lot! #3 the characters on the reverse are wrong, is mimicking a cash coing of the Ching Dynasty (1600-1900's) from the Manchurian Mint.

Looks to me like a Falus from Morocco. The AH date of 1270 corresponds to our 1850s.

Sounds right for the Morocco coin. Depending on size there is also a 1/2 falus, but perhaps not of that date.

For the list from pcm's post of 1/22, depending on size, the encrusted Spanish copper could be an 8 maravedis from early 1600s like this one:

(some problems with the image ... will try in a subsequent post)

Scratch that early 1600s.

Burgos (also Spain) might be right. Denomination (II for 2 maravedis, IIII for four) shows to the right of the coat of arms, and the arms are divided in three parts. This soin is pretty close:

I could read Philip V, and value at the right of coat of arms seems to be IIII. I guess this can be it: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces29660.html
No year can be read on the obverse. This couldn't have been possible without your help. Thank you so much!

Hello friends,
Can someone tell me the exact year of these Chinese coins? Is the last one (#3) a fake like a similar one I posted previously?
Thank you so much!

I think #1 is 10 cash from 1912. It's more difficult to me to date #2 and #3 as I cannot identify the year symbols

I think this is not a real coin, but I'd appreciate any information about it. Diameter is 12.5 mm.

Going up to the Chinese coins, you are right with the first one being a 10 cash piece from 1912. The second coin is a slightly older 10 cash piece, dating from 1906 from the Hubei Province. The pictures on this example look a little different, but there are slightly different varieties (like an uncircled dragon, which is probably yours).

For the third one—while your other 1 cash piece was identified as being Qianlong Boo-chiowan—this one is a Daoguang Boo-chiowan type. Otherwise saying, it is slightly more modern than the other, being made from 1821 to 1850 (link!). Even so, I will say that the Daoguang cash piece does look quite odd, especially looking at the rims and the colour.

Now, I am no expert in determining coins' authenticities, but going back to the Quianlong cash piece, I am not at all convinced that that one is a counterfeit. There are two different types of those coins, with the biggest difference being in the top character on the side with four characters. Yours just looks like a very corroded version of the backwards-J one, rather than the more common Z-like type.

@Joseph7420 Thank you very much!
Yes the Daouang coin has a narrower rim and the simbol on the right has just one point stroke on its left instead of two. I have not been able to find one with that symbol.
