Here are two more coins that don't seem to be in guides --

They are about 16.3 mm in diameter, and 0.8 mm thick.

I assume this is a Ch'ing Dynasty coin, but I cannot find it in any of the identification guides. 

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Richard

Thanks much, that answers my question.

I have a variety of old Chinese coins, and I can ID the bronze ones, but this one I can't find.  I'm assuming it is copper, obviously struck not cast.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Richard

I finally found one 511/518 on Heritage, for sale by the owner for about $1000, but it looks like it  has been listed for a couple of years.

I just had this graded by NGC, and they said it was an F-511/518 b.

I can't find a 518 listed anywhere on the internet, and I know the various versions of this token are assigned a rarity number. 

Does anyone know what the rarity of this token is?

thanks,

Richard

My dad, who is 95 and was in the Pacific in WWII, said this coin was a favorite souveneer to bring back home. I tried to identify it from the characters, but it does not seem to fit into the normal Japanese system. It is the size of a half dollar.

Any ideas as to what it is?
