Hi everyone,
I would be glad if someone could help me identify these coins:
number 2:
number 3, some kind of token with a 925 engraved - potentially silver bullion? I know pictures are not perfect, sorry for this:
I am glad for any help - thanks in advance!
Regards
Christoph

1. fake Chinese spade coin
2. 1850's 100 mun from Korea, although not sure if legit. These were one of the most highly produced cast mun coinage

Thanks for the quick answer.
How can I check/verify whether they are fake or not?
@bam777:
Sure, I am interested to swap this coin. Although I would be glad to know what it is before...

I think Kenny is right, the 100 mun coin is a replica. I have one real one and one like yours, where the character on the obverse, left side (the one that looks like a toaster; Kenny knows the name) is tilted, like it's italicized. There are other discrepancies too.
Check the correct one here, no tilt:

Mine came glued to a card with other replicas, which was titled"Old Korea Coins."

spade coin indeed looks replica.
