Yes there are usual coins.
For example in the second picture, you get :
10 Cash - Xianfeng Boo shan

You might read the Numisdoc related to China empire Qing dynasty to easily identify your coins.

After studying a bit, we might help U if  :
- you put a detailed picture of each coin, with the accurate orientation, one by thread,
- you tell us what characteristic you have already found about each coin : the denomination, the issuer or the mint for example.

You can also look to the catalog whith the search engine. For this coin, you can type :
Xianfeng 10 cash
or
Boo shan

After some trials, you might identify a coin in less than a minute, then ... a detailled identification might last a bit longer sometimes :°

​That's the way to do it, of course you can also to get hold of of a Hartill catalog of old chinese coins 5chinesische Käshmünzen). There is hardly any Geman text in it, so it's ok, it's mostly images!

I got hold of one, since I got tired of asking all those questions, now I mostly identify the cash coins myself.
