Some coins that need ID help (India, Asia and ?)

    I'm hoping someone can help me with these four. The first cash coin doesn't look like any Chinese ones that I've seen and I don't have a good resource for the other countries that use cash coins. I also know it might not be real. Then I have two primitive seeming Indian states coins. The second was identified in the package as "Silver bull and horseman," but I don't know if there is a more specific ID than that. And finally a larger copper or bronze that is worn completely on one side. It seems familiar and when I hear it I'll probably be kicking myself but I can't figure it out. china cash.jpg india1.jpg india2.jpg unknown.jpg

    For the last one look at the German State Erfurt.

    Thanks. It's good to know it's Japan though I admit that I'm struggling to figure out what year it might be since they all seem to have the same characters on them based on this site. Also for the bull and horseman coin, I feel like the ones in the example mostly have a distinguishable design but I can't really tell what's supposed to be going on with mine.

    I see why you recommended it but I didn't find anything.

    Yeah, I saw the wagon wheel like item and knew that it was used there. Without a date it's going to be tough. It was also used by Osnabruck and I'm sure some others that I haven't come across.

    The six-spoked wheel also shows up on coins from Osnabrück and Wiedenbrück.
    Though neither of my examples has a crown over it, so I haven't seen a close match.

    Is there any way to tell what year it is? The Japanese one?
