    The top coin is Chinese.

    The right side picture of the bottom coin is upside down. That coin is very likely Japanese, but I don't have my Hartil handy to specifically ID it.

    I think the smaller one on the left is Vietnamese, cast during the reign of the Ham Nghi Emperor (r. 1884-1885) but I am not sure about that.

    The other one on the right is from Qing China during the reign of the Xianfeng Emperor (r. 1850-1861). It is in the denomination of 10 wen (ten cash).

    I don't have my references here so I can't tell the mint at the moment.

    OK, I found it in a different reference. The Qing coin was cast in Zhejiang (Chekiang) Province.

    It's catalog number is Ding 2477 (same as Fisher's Ding #) I don't have Krause handy but I think this will be enough to find it there.
