Hello All. I found these two coins at a 1930's house site. They are slightly larger than a quarter and are not magnetic so they are brass or bronze maybe. I have checked a couple of internet Chinese coins ID sites but can't see the same ones and I going blind looking at these things.

Please let me know if you can date them. From what I can see, guessing they are mid 1800's specimens?

Thanks very much. C9

They were decorations on sewing baskets when I was a kid in the '40's.

Actually, the obverse of the second coin appears the same as the first though the mint marks are different.
Thanks, Deepseeker; I continue in your footsteps.
Don.
