Apologies for grouping these together, but I'm relying on friends to do my scanning as I can't use my hands for a while.
The two asian coins are possibly not real, the brass is some kind of token, but the Belgian intrigues me. The final E in belgique is missing.

The larger of the two Asian coins looks to be Qing Dynasty Chinese, from the reign of Emperor Sheng Zu. I can just make out "Kang Xi tong bao" on the obverse, and what may be the "Boo chiowan" characters of the Board of Revenue mint in Peking on the reverse.
Sheng Zu, who took the regnal title "Kang Xi" was one of the greatest Chinese emperors, ruling for sixty-one years.
