Hi folks I have some unknowns here which I'm struggling to identify. I known the coins aren't exactly in the best condition, but I'd still like to catalog them nonetheless. Any help greatly appreciated. I'm not 100% sure the one far right is even a coin at all, but it did come with a small bundle. It's very thin, copper, and has a pattern only on one side. Likewise the one with lemon shaped hole cut in the middle, but at least it's circular. The size of this is just larger than a pre decimal UK half penny but about half the height. Any opinion would be very helpful.
Top left: Republic of China, 10 Cash, Ho-Nan Province Top center: Script looks SE Asian? Do you have a weight and diameter? Top right: Looks like a decorated flattened penny or some such. Bottom left: Ottoman Empire, 40 Para 1327 Bottom right: Imitative of Chinese cash SE Asian coinage maybe? Here's a similar round tin coin with a round hole from the Sultanate of Palembang. The original is too worn or crude for me to narrow it down.
Top centre: 5.34 grams, 25 mm diameter. Pretty much the exact size but half the height of a UK pre decimal half penny
I searched those dimensions for copper and bronze composition and couldn't find anything close. It looks like some sort of Asian token maybe? If I could read any of the lettering on the obverse we could probably narrow it down to a country at least.
I think you could be right about the decorated flattened penny. If it doesn't look immediately recognisable to you guys as a coin, then I'm thinking a coin it ain't. And thanks for the hunch about the other being an imitation - I'd go with that. Thanks for your help!
I tried getting a more close up picture in sharper detail, but there's really nothing discernible on either side. The only clue is the obverse (I'm guessing) has a lion type figure reminiscent of Sri Lanka (or Ceylon), with what looks like just single characters spaced around it.
