Anyone here knows about coins ?
I found those in my grandparents stuff, and I don't know about them. 5c is here for scale.

The central one with an uneven shape makes me think it could be ancient, but it seems that it is not made of gold, so I doubt it.
The one in the right might not even be a coin but more of a medal, I'm not sure. I don't know what it says, it's mot likely mandarin.
Bottom one is from Louis XVI
Left one... I have no idea
Please Jow Forums help me, I know some chilean poster knows about coins
Isaiah Nguyen
The one in the middle is a silver ducat. But it is in a very bad shape to be sold.

元 Means yuan I guess ?
Do you know what the other characters mean ? Maybe a value ?
Interesting, I thought it would be an alliage of copper
Bentley Wright
Princeps Leo Dux?
Theod Car Dei Gratai Bavaria dux?
Mason Williams
Even looking at the light, I can't tell what are the letters, it's been polished by time
Connor Anderson
Chinese one is common. I use them as necklaces as a kid. Bottom one is worth something like 50 euro but its kind of ruined. Whats written on the left one? I can only read dux

Maybe this guy. I am not sure.
MXCLI or MDCLI? So 1651?
Gavin Peterson
Tb h I don't really care about their value.
Do you have any idea of the age of the chinese coin ? I love the engraving
Hold on I'll try to take a clearer picture one the left one.
Blake Hill
weird flex
Samuel Wood
What's the year? It seems something like M_CLIIII so probably it's from 1653

Luis Campbell

I don't get how it's a flex. Channers have varied interests and I'd much rather discuss numismatics than pepe derivatives.

Central one is very thick, twice as thick as this one.
Luke Ward
what is it?
Ethan Wright
Well, apparently, it seems to be made of copper, dates back to 1750-1752, from bavaria.
Brayden Hernandez
Are you planning on selling it and earning some quick bucks?
Wyatt Sanders
No sorry but if you Google "Chinese coins" there are some similar. I just bought this but sadly I don't know German so I can't read it kek
Jacob Johnson
There is also this fairly large one
No I don't need money atm

Thanks for your help nonetheless, good luck learning deutsch
Matthew Flores
Thank you all for your help btw, based Jow Forums
David Hughes
Chink one is something like this primaltrek.com
Grayson Wood
Yeah, there a form of money.
Benjamin King
Apparently it's a Left shoulder Kaiyuan Tongbao, they were last used in Tang Dynasty (618-907), but yours seems to be in an extremely good condition, so it maybe a fake one.
Noah James
you should polish them more, clean them up
if you have a buffing wheel and some toothpaste that'd be great

Sorry to say this but it seems like that Chinese coin has literally no value atm.
Ryan Reed
If what you have said is real, op should be keeping this coin no matter how worthless the coin is. 五代十國 is more than a thousand years ago and it's cool to own something unburnt older than Notre dame
Check this wiki page on 五代十國

I'm not sure whether this question is talking about exact same coin you got but if it is, the coin is from "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period" which means 10th century.
Julian Bell
Nvm. That Q&A was bit outdated i think. I could somehow found m.997788.com
This looks like same coin as OP's one but OP's one looks bit more fancier than this. So I guess it might worth like more than 60$? I dunno as I can't speak Chinese and couldn't do any search about it.
William Hill
Apparently some similar coins have been made until the 1940s in french indochina, so my guess is that it's likely from there.

I wouldn't go to website with domain name like this if I were you.

Middle coins: french from the period of Louis xiv. Might be half dollars/shillings which contain different kinds of metals.
Jace Morales
I clicked the link
What's the matter?
Benjamin Phillips
I never trust any shady mainland Chinese website. I don't think anything obvious is gonna happen if you didnt download shit from websites like these.
