    #5 Best matches I could find: China Shen Zong (1068-1085) should read Yuan Feng tong bao c/wise, or China Zhe Zong (1086-1100) should read Yuan You tong bao c/wise.

    What's the composition and diameter?

    #5 is about 30mm in diameter and appears to be made of bronze.

    Number 1 is Japanese, I believe. Never been able to pick the eras on these properly. If it doesn't fly to a magnet (made of iron), t's either an incredibly rare modern coin (1840's) or a more common, older coin.

    Number 3 is Vietnamese/Annamese, a 10 van coin of Thanh Trinh (1888-1907). Turning crusty green is a common fate for these coins.

    Edited to add: Must... type... faster... image
