They appear to be Chinese cash coins. However, I can't really tell more than that from the pictures. Not sure about the authenticity either. Higher detail closeups would help.

Try googling "Chinese cash coin identification". Since you have the coin in hand, you'll be able to match up the pictographs and determine which ones you have.

The top one is a Chinese "cash" coin, from the reign of the Guangxu Emperor (1875-1908), the second-last Emperor of China. The side with just two characters is the mint-name, in Manchu script: yours appears to be Anhui (Anhewi) Province mint.

The second item is not a coin; Chinese cash coins didn't have pictures on the other side, like this one does. It will be a charm or amulet of some kind.

Sap ID'ed them! All I can add is that the obverse in the top photo is oriented upside down. It probably looks OK that way to Sap being down under there in Australia! :0) The reverse just needs a 90 degree turn clockwise to be oriented correctly.

The top one is authentic, but isn't worth a whole lot because these were minted in the billions, and a base metal. You can usually find them in 25c junk boxes.

yes it's china coin...u can check the yr of the coin easily bt it's hard 4 us to determine whether it's authentic or not(through pictures)...especially china coins...there'd been many printed copies of this which's coated in silver with inner metal...
