Back at the old schoolhouse park for a while today. I don't know the date on the Chinese coin but I know they go back to the 1700-1800's and are not particularily rare.

The Military Mass token is identical in size to the US cent.

I have no idea what the gear is for, possibly a clock? It is about the size of a silver dollar.

I didn't see where you had any info on your Chinese coin.
It dates from 1662 - 1722. Not sure of the mint, as you have the backside of the coin upside down. But it is either a Board of Revenue, or Public Works Mint......both the most common of the mints.
A nice coin, with much history behind it. Great find!!!!

Nice finds,

I don't know anything about chinese coins, but you can look in this site too see if your coin is there. I would start in the Qing Dynasty section.
