I would appreciate confirmation or correction for my identification of following two coins.


1. China Empire 1 cash Xining ND (1068-1077)
Bronze, diameter 24 mm, Ref. Hatill#16.171


2. Vietnam Empire 1 cash ND (1740-1786), Canh Hung Thong Bao (Lê Dynasty)
Copper, diameter 24 mm, Ref. Toda#96 (but coin in this photograph has no symbols on reverse and composition looks like brass rather than copper)

The first coin looks more like Hartill# 16.172. (I didn't start from scratch and find the coin, I just compared your image with 16.171 and nearby coins.)

Hello
for the chinese one
not the 16.171 the Bao had long side strokes
Hard to say wich one is because of the condition

For me not either the 16.172 because the feet of the bao are different they are horizontal on your coin
