A few Chinese Coins

First up is not really a coin, commemoratives in CuNi sold as a pair in gold and silver finish for about $8, decent proofs these are for the 60th Ann. of the founding of "New" China. These were bought at the government owned shop in the Forbidden City, closest to Mao's Mausoleum.

These are the ancients I picked up and I know nothing about them so maybe one of the experts can chime in if they know something about them. The bottom 2 pair came from the museum shop and are much lower grade than the ones picked up from one of the delaers outside the museum. The museum coins were about $1.10 ea. and the coins from the dealer were $1 ea., no idea if any of them are real although they all have plenty of nice green stuff growing on them.
