These have me stumped. Were in an eBay lot which included quite a few fake Chinese copper coins. I have no idea what these are. Both look silver, especially the smaller one. Small one is 2.67g, larger one is 5.42g. Smaller one says 1 jiao on the reverse. I believe the larger one says 2 jiao. Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks.
This is similar to the second one. I tried to find a coin with Cyrillic and Chinese. Maybe this will lead you in the right direction. It's not an area I'm well versed in.
Could the one with Chinese and Cyrillic be Mongolian? I know they use the Cyrillic alphabet in Mongolia.... Nevermind... If I'd actually read the post above mine its been ID'd.... Just one of those days.
The right one says it's a 1932 2 Jiao for the Chinese characters. Example linked above is a 1 yuan. It's not quite like the 1932 2 Jiao I can find on Numista. My guess is it's a fantasy piece. The obverse looks like the North Shensi Soviet, but I don't think they made a 2 jiao in 1932. These various Chinese Soviets aren't common and there are probably tons of modern replicas and fantasy pieces.
Left one says it's a Republic of China Year 3 (1914) 1 Jiao. Portrait looks like a diagonally facing Sun Yat-Sen. Similar but not identical to this Kwantung one from Year 18. I haven't looked into all the different provincial issues, but I would assume it is also a fantasy. The standard Year 3 one jiao has Yuan Shi-Kai with a similar reverse but a very different obverse.
I can tell you the top one is a US one cent piece. Does that help. LOL Really, I have limited access to the internet right now, so can't help you on the other two.
With other fakes in the lot, probably safe to assume these aren’t real either. Chinese coins with a hammer and sickle are very rare and valuable.
I could tell they were reproductions in the picture so I bid accordingly. Basically I got a Circulated Morgan dollar and a 1797 1/2 Real for $13. Already sold the Morgan for $37.50.
