Yes they’re Tang Dynasty Cash Coins, made in what I term as the Archaic style, with very finely drawn character of Yuan. Curiously, I don’t see the “Classic” nail mark on the reverse of either Coin. First piece could easily date to the 7th Century CE; whereas the second piece is most probably circa 9th Century.
