Unless someone can come up with a citation or attribution, my estimate is that these are fantasies, not genuine coins of the Dark Ages. People today who know nothing of history or numismatics think that ancient coins must be crude. Perhaps they saw some Celtic coins that they did not know how to view. They make these to pass them off.
I could be wrong -- I have been wrong more often than I care to admit -- but I doubt that these objects are genuine.
"Viking" coins (so-called) look like this:

Aside to Ripley: Nice guess, but you do not know if the coins are oriented correctly. The Rorschach Test has some limitations... (:-) The bottom coin, I would rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise, making their 6 o'clock at 3 o'clock. But it would still be nothing...
Something like this from medieval India might be closer, but still far from the mark.
