Here are pics of the rim of one of the coins...I'll stick my neck out and assume both coins are identical in this respect. What is the...

Got it! Egyptian, KM# 321: Hussein Kamil, Accession date: AH1333.
Perhaps Egyptian, or Algerian? I am obviously guessing. ~39.85mm, ~28.1grams, reeded edge. Very skillfully applied pin-back, but it was such a...

These two were in a stack of otherwise pretty trashed miscellaneous paper currency. Not that there's anything special about them, but I've looked...
VERY Good history! The two profiles are near identical...I really think you've tied it all together. Excellent, Thanks! wlw
