OK I can't seem to find out much at all about these coins. I found them in PA. detecting sometime in the 90's I believe so not sure if colonial or what? The one looks like the date reads 1790 but that's all I can find. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The obverse looks to a pachyderm with either a castle or saddle on it's back. The reverse has a horse & rider This one is small like a penny or dime (United States coinage) I was told that it could be a farthing but not sure? Obverse reads Columbia and has a Greek or Romanesque type bust and what appears to be a bundle of arrows The reverse has Justice (I believe) sitting on a British shield and holding a weird looking sword and the scales.
Lady Godiva. Thank you now I have a starting point to research it further. I realize the other side on your picture is not like mine but I get the point. Now to figure out the other one. They both don't have a denomination on them so what was they used for? Commerce?
The top of the obverse of your coin reads "COVENTRY HALFPENNY". It was a token used in place of coin of the realm in England because of the copper coin shortage at the time. It looks like an Elephant-and-Castle design on your obverse, rather than Coventry Cathedral. It probably looked something like this in its better days: http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/DH.Warks.242a.001.html On edit: The other coin is a Columbia farthing token. http://www.aboutfarthings.co.uk/Columbia Farthings.html
I found this on the Columbia Farthing- my exact one. http://www.coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=1586&main_ct_id=94
