Ancient Chinese coins 24mm and 47mm, probably copper or bronze (have pics) [solved]

8 posts • viewed 116 times

I'm not able to identify these two coins and would appreciate your help. 

 

The larger 47mm coin shown first below has Chinese characters on one side and a design that does not seem to be characters on the other. 

 

The smaller 24mm coin has Chinese characters on one side and some script on the other.

 

If you have the link to these coins on Numista that would be super helpful!

Second one Chinese cash Qianlong.  This one I think.

Not sure if the first is a coin or some sort of token.  Seems to large for a coin.

The first one is an amulet or art “coin” with a similar motive to my avatar picture.

Thank you very much! Yes, that's it for the smaller coin.

 

When I first saw the larger coin I had the same feeling, but then found out that there were coins of this size made: N#225786

 

However, the example I gave has characters on both sides; this one just has a design on the other side.

THAT's what we have under exonumia (not matching yours) but one item has the comment 

“The Zhengde Emperor reigned from 1505–1521. However no circulating coins were produced during his reign. Coins bearing his era name are minted from late Ming to early Qing, with modern reproductions. They are lucky charms, with auspicious depictions on the back.”
