What I did do just now is make individual pictures, which may help someone ...

1

2

3

4

5

I think I got them the right way round, but not sure of the reverses. :)
Looks like 1 and 2 are similar, as are 3 and 4, I think.


EDIT: Maybe found similar coins ...

For 1 and 2 there are two different varieties:

3-4 the famous machine struck Guangxu Boo-Guwang
They are usualy very well preserved. The nb#4 might have take a shower of acid ?
And if you want to go a step beyond with the nb#5 ... (DH#22.205)

​2 hours is a minimum to start with chinese cash :D

Well ... only for your eyes ... what the hell is "6 stroke bei" ? "bei" is the bottom part of "bao"
This is related to how Chinese characters are to be traced. Each trait must be carried out in a well-established order and direction.
In some cases, we can find variants of this way of writing.
To spot a difference that is a tracing error, a difference that is a variant, it takes the knowledge of a calligrapher master, there is a whole technique and a philosophy behind. I do not know how to deal with it at all, but that's what it says in the famous "Bei à 6 trait", a variant of writing.


Then look to the head of "Tong", the character at the right of the obverse face. It might be "square"
At left of "Tong" there are 2 dots.
The radical of "tong" (bottom part) looks straigth in your coins.
Finaly look to the head of "Boo" on reverse. This can be "Open", "Close", "Protuding".
In this coin type there are only two possibilities Protuding or not. The second coin looks "close" and the first looks "open" that's why I thought there were two different varieties.

So your two coins are ... DH#22.575
