    Okay guys, it's not like I've even tried identifying these on my own. Moreover, I'm not sure if these are authentic or if they are modern replicas. Wondering if any of you guys can be of some help.
    The left hand coin is 3.5 grams, the right hand coin is 3.9 grams. Thanks in advance!

    They look legitimate. The one on the left was issued during the reign of emperor Qianlong and the one on the right by Emperor Jiaqing. They are worth 1 cash unit. Qing coins issued are often in brass alloy and the weight is about right.
