Hello, I need help in identifying whether these are actually real or fake. The seller said that these are authentic, however, I have serious doubts since tourist replicas do exist, and these may be a few of them. Both coins are Qianlong Tongbao - Boo Ciowan (乾隆通寶 ᠪᠣᠣ ᠴᡳᠣᠸᠠᠨ) and Yongzheng Tongbao (雍正通寶) from the Qing Dynasty. I am still quite new to the hobby and I don't have much experience in identifying which ones are real and fake.

Thank you! Here are the pictures:

​I have a feeling the first one most definitely isn't, but I would like to know why the second one is not (for future reference) thank you!

Edit: I believe I have gotten the information I needed, thank you to all that have replied!

​I would suggest to start to collect countries with no counterfeits, China is really the worst country to collect....
