They are cash coins, but they look like modern reproductions, especially the second one. The two symbols on the side should be on the back.

coins of china, the Ch'ing Dynasty

It's the same coin just both sides. Are they worth anything do you think?

It is worth a few dollars. The attribution from Mackaydon is correct. The surface looks a little grainy to me, but it could be just corrosion or something natural happening to the coins. Keep in mind these are faked by the millions to make jewelry.
