What is about these coins? It is hard to clean them. I have only one half-cleaned coin and it is a copper coin with a clear domain structure! So, I can clean them only in several years.
In the future you should place new requests in a new topic, not a reply. I will often not read new replies on topics I've already read -- creating a new post will get more viewers.
OK, I will do it in the future. However, I think that the last ring symbols mean yuan or liang (tael).
Some symbols relate to fish and some to space (cosmos)!?
Thanks a lot! It looks like the Shang dynasty (1200BC) or even earlier, before the Zhou dynasty because the Zhou dynasty has conquered the Shang dynasty and the oracle bone script disappeared. So, the Shang dynasty (namely the last nine kings of the Shang dynasty beginning with Wu Ding) is the last Chinese dynasty used the oracle bone script. Thanks a lot!

Don't overlook this phrase from the reply by jane6301: "on a modern day machine stamped coin"
I have many old Chinese coins. The casting process was good, but none look as perfectly round as these coins. The script is old, but these tokens don't appear to be.
