Ancient reproduction and Bristol farthing?

Came across these in a big lot over the weekend. No idea on the reproduction, and I think the other one is a Bristol farthing. Any ideas?

Repro of a gold aureus of the emperor Claudius.

 

Westair Reproductions Limited replicas are commonly sold at gift shops. It lists for £1.95

Bristol farthings are pretty common - was a large municipal issue that spanned over a decades worth of issues.

I can see just enough to see "The Armes of Bristoll" on it.

 

Thankfully it appears the fake aureus is marked. On the reverse at about 7 o clock. I do not mind replicas when the manufacturer makes sure to mark them permanently.

 

Thanks everyone! I didn't even spot the reproduction until I had sifted halfway through the bag, and I knew the place I got them from wouldn't have missed something as obvious as a gold coin. Though I have to admit that in the two seconds it took to feel it in my hand I got to thinking about a new windshield or new brakes for my car!
