The first coin is Chinese. The inscription reads guang xu yuan bao which means it was struck during the reign (1875-1908) of Emperor De Zong of the Qing (Ch'ing) Dynasty. I cannot make out any other detail on the coin so I am unable to determine the denomination or where it was produced. However, most of these coins were minted around 1900-1906. Gary
