    Another obverse side pic of the Chinese coin

    It's hard to see because the coin is well worn

    I believe that the Thai coin is a Satang from the early 1900s. If you don't have a Krause catalog, then I would be glad to look it up for you.

    Edit: ooops, I see you just need help with the date. I'll look in my catalog & see it I can figure it out.

    It looks like 2-4-6 and then the last digit I'm guessing could be a 9. That would be 1926 in the Krause catalog. I'm no the expert so please consider this my best guess.

    Thx. I came up with the same date, but another coin I have also has that date. It's the last number that has got me stumped.

    The Chinese copper coin is a "one cash" coin produced in 1908 at the Tianjin mint during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor.

    The inscription is written right-to-left although I am writing it below the way we write English left-to-right:

    Top row: 光緒 (Guangxu) meaning the Guangxu Emperor
    Middle row: 戊申 (1908)
    Bottom row: 一文 (one wen ("cash"))

    In the very center: 總 (zong) meaning "main" as in the "main mint" which was in Tianjin.

    The reverse side depicts a dragon.

    A similar coin may be seen at this Chinese website.
