    Hi, I wonder if anyone has any information on these two coins/disks which were part of a garage clearance, I have no idea what they are, I can see that they have later been turned into a pin badge / brooch of some sort.

    I wondered if they were a copy of something older or actually have age in their own right.

    If anyone knows anything I would really appreciate your input.

    Many thanks

    All I can say is that they are casted, the holes are air bubbles when casted.
    It shows the person wasn't very skilled at doing this.
    But I don't know what the originals were supposed to be.

    Yes, definitely a bit of a mystery, I will post anything else I find on these :) Thank you

    Tokens rather than coins I think.

    the first one is a well-known subject showing two templars on one horse because they were obliged to live in poverty.
