    It did not work. How do you upload images? The link is also clearly to google drive. I believe there is also an upload limit and if I have 3 coins with photos of obverse and reverse, it will exceed that limit.

    I've figured it out! Here are images of the coins pulled from google drive.

    Just posting because I want to see what the experts say. Doubt it's ancient, but could be medieval from India or ????

    I had the same reaction, not knowledgeable at all about those coins. Hope someone chimes in.

    My first thought is that the copper is relatively modern, perhaps 17th-19th century. The silver appears older because the reverse is off-struck. India, 13th-15 century?

    I found out that the larger coin is a Java East Indies coin. It’s a heart shape with a B above it :) Other one has no markings or shapes I could search up and I don’t recognize the language on it

    To modern to be an ancient coin and there's no way to tell what it is besides a metal blank.

    Ancient coins rarely have such nicely round planchets.

    The second one reminds of the 17-19th century Turkish coins.
