I received this from a man who wanted his temple to be build in New York City. What do these words mean?

光緒 is right but it's 通寶 not 寶通.

The first image I believe shows the back of the coin with Manchu script on it meaning the same thing.

The third one contains a single character 佛 which is the Chinese name (transliteration) for Buddha.
