Need help on identifying two coins

Hello,

Please can someone help in identifying the following two coins?

Coin 1



Coin 2


Regards,

Pete.

The first one looks like: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16006.html

or: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21486.html

or 2 Jiao

or 1/2 Dollar...

Look at them and choose.

The second one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22751.html

But not sure how genuine they are

Sorry, but there are no genuine coins in the first post.

Yep, I thought so too

Both aren't real. They might be contemporary counterfeits.

If they were real the first one is a Chinese Yuan Shikai dollar, and the second one is a Taiwanese dollar.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Could someone tell me what signs I am looking for to indicate that these are not real??
Any other sources I should be looking at for more information on these coins?

More information on the coins is as follows:

Coin 1: Diameter 41mm Weight 23g
Coin 2: Diameter 39mm Weight 18g

Both coins photographed under bright white LED lighting so colours may not be accurate.

Regards,

Pete.

I've been verifying fake Chinese coins for a long time so I can guarantee.

You can see that the engraving of the characters and the head are crude, and the mills around the edge are uneven.

Don't feel disappointed; Chinese coins, especially these two designs, are faked all the time. It's very rare you'll see a real one of these.
