I'm no expert, and I can't read Chinese, but I think the first pic looks upside down.

Weird-looking pieces like this are often from Vietnam, which I know even less about. I'll try to check if it could be Northern Song; if not, I'm probably not qualified to tell any more.

It does appear to be Northern Song - Huizong, Zheng He Tong Bao, possibly Li script, 1111-1118.

I thought the style was too crude, but I couldn't find any imitations of this particular type, and this example seems to be a fairly good match. Maybe it's just so corroded that it looks crude?
