I've been researching these coins for the past few days (exhausting). Wanted to see if anyone with more experience in cash coins could lend their brains. Anything that jumps out and screams "counterfeit", are they common or is there any value in any? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
A: 25mm, 4.3g
B: 25mm, 4.4g
C: 25mm, 3.3g
24mm, 2.7g
E: 24mm, 2.9g
F: 24mm, 3.6g
G: 25mm, 2.1g
And finally, I believe this is a charm token
H: 31mm, 8.9g
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the links @IVB) Hands down the site I've seen for ID. Still can't find any info on that last one though.🧐

I found an interesting site https://qhanzi.com/ for handwritten Chinese input recognizing.
So, left character on obverse is Wu (巫) — "shaman". And I believe too this is some kind of a charm token.
Thanks for the links !!!
@IVB I downloaded a pretty good app for the same thing. I will check out your site too. It's a lot harder than I figured it would be. Alot of variations and styles. You have been a big help. I appreciate your time.
Good luck
