    Came across a small collection of foreign coins and was able to identify most of them so far but I'm having a little trouble with these 2.

    Welcome to CT, Todd. Take photos of each coin separatly, both sides, crop them, and post them as "full images" not thumbnail and someone should be able to see them and help.

    These might be "belly dance" costume coins, imitations of real coins but made of brass and very thin.

    The weights and diameters would help identify them.

    The first one is a golden color almost the same diameter and thickness as a nickel. The second is silver. The diameter and thickness of it is about the same as a penny.

    I would be more interested to research the gold coins. As willieboyd2 said, they could be modern copies for belly dancers, or they could be older gold coins used for weddings. Id say take them to a goldsmith so he can tell you.

    Also try sharing some better coins. These are way too blurry to guess.

    The first one is Afghanistan KM#827.
    One paisa, brass or bronze, 1899 (AH 1317)

    Hard to be sure about the second one. It is Afghanistan, maybe KM#844.1, half rupee from 1905-1910.
