These all appear to be Board of Revenue mint cash coins from the Qing dynasty - the first is emperor K'ang Hsi (c. 1700), the second Chia Ch'ing (c. 1800) and the third is a bit of a puzzle as the bottom character of the reign name is Chih, which suggests T'ung Chih (1862-1875) but the upper character is wrong - although it is in the style of a Qing cash and has the Boo Cio-wan (Board of Revenue mint) on the reverse.

Yep, all three are Board of Revenue:

 

1. Kangxi (1661-1722)

2. Jiaqing (1796-1820)

3. Shunzhi (1644-1661)

 

My spellings are different as I'm using pinyin romanization (most older books and references based on older books including Krause use Wade-Giles romanization)
