If someone could lend me a hand in identifying these two coins, it would be great. I checked the web and couldn't find anything. Thanks. The diameter of the first one is around 6mm / 0.23 inch. The second looks like it's made from brass and has some gold traces.
They both look like coins from Asia. But Since there are holes in it the value is not as much as it would wihout the holes.
The lack of legends of any kind on the top piece implies that it is a non-coin medallion of some sort. The toughra in the center of the bottom picture fixes the issuer as the Ottoman Empire or one of its offshoots (think Egypt and Turkey). However, the other side of that coin appears to have a preposterous date - 1666. The current year is AH1431!
The third pic is an Ottoman coins.. It's written ( Ghazy , Mahmood, Khan) Mint in Constantine in 1223 Hijri = 1808 In the back it's written (Sultan, Salateen, Zaman)

The only one I've seen in my catalog with a similar design, the 3 ovals around the outside, are gold. But you're definitely not gold. I'll keep looking
I think I just spotted the second coin in Krause in the Iraq section, KM74. It is listed as a Hayriye Altin, Date 1223 AH 20-21 mm and 1.4 g, composition is just listed as gold, no specs. In my copy of Krause it is on page 728 the pic is small but it looks pretty good.
