Good day to everyone
I would kindly ask if anyone has an idea about these three coins or tokens. I've got them in China or Taiwan in different places and slightly different time like 15 years ago, since can't identify. The first one looks like dollar of China Republic, but can't find in any catalog. Middle one would suspect as counterfeit, looks like Empire province, but never seen reverse like that. The 3rd one I would guess as a medal or token, if any info would be great. All three look silver, about same 38 mm dia and about same weight. Thanks in advance for any info.
Thanks, Kenny. I have the same feeling re first two, but have a slight hope that the 3rd one is medal or token. Do you know what's wording on the obverse of 3rd one mean?
It says "One Dollar" on the left and right, respectively, of Sun Yat-sen's head. I'm surprised with the order of the lettering because the ROC coins read from left to right, and this one doesn't. Plus I've never seen that design before so I'm almost certain it's a fake.
You can sell them on eBay if you want to, but you'd have to say it's a modern reproduction.

Thanks, Kenny, trust your expertise. I'll better will not sell them, someone later one can re-sell it as "an interesting Chinese coin" and you'll have to respond again to the same identification. Better keep it as a souvenir and keep at least this one away from circulation.
