I got these two ancient coins. I assume they are from China - but I am really not sure and I am not successful by trying to identfy them with the help of a catalogue. Coin 1
Diameter: 22mm
Weight:1.8g
For the first coin, I'm fairly sure you have a Japanese 1 Mon coin. Due to the condition of the coin, I don't know exactly which variety you have. However, I can tell that your coin is likely the "new type" from after 1668. Here is the page for the coin:

Hope this helps!
Hi DoubleEggbert56,
absolutely right - thanks a lot for your help. And right - unfortunately the condition of this coin is not good enough for breaking down to variant level.
