    They are rupees, possibly 5 and 1 rupee coins. Rupees have been around from the 1600s to the 1800s and just about every province/tribe/sheikdom in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Nepal...all had them.

    Trying to find the right time and place for them is quite a task. Maybe you know someone from that region who can translate for you.

    Good luck and I hope this helped.

    To me they appear to be from Hyderabad - a large princely state that is now part of Pakistan.

    Hey Guys,

    Thanks for the reply now one of my friend knows urdu language and he told me this.

    1. First coin has written one side "akabar badshah" "gulam sila mubarak" and other side "ra" "julus abad".
    2. Second coin has written one side "riaaz" and other side hindi word "saa".

    This is the latest information what i have received but still searching exact province and mint.

    It is still unclear to me guys please help if anyone knows this.

    Thanks

    Rohit.

    Having Urdu language on them makes them likely from the Hyderabad princely state.
