I am no expert in this field but eager to learn.
I was given these two coins as a present from Chinese friends that, not being English speakers, couldn't tell me much about them (they told me they had found them during an excavation in an ancient rural village).
Now, I did some research and one of them looks like a circa 1640 Shunzhi brass coin, but I think it's counterfeit. It is very thin and light and the surfaces of the writing are broad and smooth (as if worn out by usage).
The other one is completely flat and more than twice the thickness of the first.
Could anyone help me identify them and find out if they're fake?
Thank you in advance
