Well the obvious is chinese cash coins. Don't know anything about cupid though. The four coins seem to be common. I don't remember ever seeing the smaller one though. There are a lot of experts here on the forumn on these cash coins. I am sure that they will be piping up soon.

I want to say that the one coin is from Mexico. I do not have my book handy to let you know for sure.

The brass coin with angel is a Mexican provincial coin.. these were typically struck 1830's to 1860's

The Mexican coin is a state copper (actually, it's most likely brass) from Zacatecas.

The leftmost coins are Ch'ien Lung (reign title) Emperor Kao Tsung 1736-1795, The top of the top coin is pointing left. The top of the bottom coin is pointing right.

For the Mexican coin, look at 1/4 reals - KM#366 or 367.

The other five coins are chinese cash. The three with four characters up (obverse) are all Qing Dynasty dating from 1736-1795. The two with two characters up are Qing, but without the front, it is hard to determine the range of mintage.

MrBreeze is correct. All the Chinese cash coins that I can make out including the bottom middle are from 1736-1795. I have corrected my previous post.

Thank you all for the great info.
I received these in a batch of Canadian coins I bought on Monday to send to my granddaughter for her 14th birthday next week.

If you show us the fronts and backs of the Qing coins we can figure out the mints.
