    Found these two cash coins in a world coin bin for 20 cents each. Anyone here able to identify them? I don't know anything about Chinese coins, I just think these are Qing Dynasty.

    Interesting that one appears to be copper while the other looks more like brass.

    I looked on an identification site. I got these results too.

    Not in the best of shape, but for 20 US cents each, I'm happy to own them.

    That's all that ever really matters to me.

    FYI - They should be rotated clock wise a quarter turn each to be the correct orientation.
