This is a group of eight authentic old Chinese cash coins (traditional round coins with a square central hole). These coins originate from the late Imperial Chinese era, most likely Qing Dynasty or earlier based on size, style, and metal composition. The coins are in uncleaned, as-found condition, showing heavy patina, corrosion, and soil deposits. Due to oxidation, most inscriptions are partially or fully unreadable, which makes precise emperor/date identification impossible without professional cleaning or conservation.
