Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 10:16 pm First off, welcome. My initial impression, based on the extreme similarity in the "patina" of this duo, is that they're modern reproduction or fantasy pieces, probably manufactured in China.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 11:01 pm Definitely not coins, nor Chinese. Characters depict "dynasty" but seem indefinite. The "spade" is a suspended object, wind chime perhaps and the "cash coin" is associated. May be Japanese or complete fabrications. Report this Post to the Staff
