I bought these tonight, but I probably shouldn't have, as I know about nothing about world coins, but I thought they were interesting. First was described as Tibetan, but I don't think it is (Indian maybe?). (Not my image, and I removed a box highlighting the swastika) Second was described as Albanian -
Second coin looks to be Venetian, 2 1/2 soldini, produced 1611-1615 . . . assuming it's authentic. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces50017.html

Ok, cool. You guys rock. So it looks like coin #2 would be the one to have value, if it's authentic. I'll start by weighing it once it arrives. Maybe I didn't pay too much. Coin #1 is a temple token? What is a temple token? I'd guessing it's something to pay tribute to the gods when at a temple? Do these have any value? This one I probably did pay too much for.
Coin#1: Its actually a standard silver Indian bullion piece and would probably weigh in at either 5, 10, 20 or 50 grams. They are sold by most local jewelers for people buying silver and are very common gifts in India for birthdays, babies, graduation, etc etc. The obverse has Goddess Laxmi (Wealth) and Lord Ganesha (Wisdom) - and the reverse simply says “Shri” with a little sign on the top and side saying 999 Silver Pure.
Alright, coins finally arrived. The Italian States coin is the one I'm interested in as far as whether you guys think it's authentic. I believe it is. Diameter - 24.9mm to 26.0mm Thickness - 1.4mm Weight - 5.9 grams / 91 grains Color is truest on the obverse (1st image) Reverse looks like it was wiped Opinions welcomed!
