    The smaller item resembles a fantasy replica coin called a Cash, there were millions produced over centuries in China, Korea etc.

    The large one is not a sword guard,the sword opening and size are wrong.

    The big one is the lid of an incense burner and the other is a coin or at least it looks like a Chinese coin.

    The coin with the double dragons on the reverse is most likely to be a reproduction as the genuine coins are rare and usually not in as good a condition as your item. There are various sized coins as well, you have not mentioned dimensions.
    Genuine 太平 通寳 Taiping Tongbao were issued during the Northern Song Dynasty in the years 976 to 997. Mostly made of bronze and a bit of iron or lead.
