I just came across these in storage and was wondering if someone could shed some light on them for me?

All but the last are replicas of ancient spade and knife coins. I don't know enough to tell you what each is trying to be, but they are all fakes/replicas/repros. That does not bode well for the last one, which purports to be a multiple denomination cash coin, I think from the mid 1800s (haven't collected Chinese in a while, I forgot some of the emperor names). Large, multi-cash denominations are also pricy and thus commonly "reproduced"

Hey thanks for taking a look for me. So the coin is something to look into further or does it also look like a repo in your appinion?

Hello and welcome.

If the round coin on the right is a fake, it's a more convincing fake than the spades and knife. Can we see a pic of the other side? Sometimes, "coin-like charms" have genuine coin designs on one side and a fantasy design on the other.
