In a (suggestive) word... questionable.

 

Both look like poor copies.
#1 is an Austrian Maria Theresa Thaler, real ones are restrike silver bullion coins.
#2 Is just plain wrong.

 

Both are fake.

 

That Ugandan one is pretty funny. Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York look like a couple of gibbons.

 

Size and weight ?
something funky 'bout the thaler...?

 

my opinion and I am probably wrong is that both genuine--the thaler should be silver and is a re-strike but that make no difference.they were used as trade coins in many countries.

 

There was no Royal Wedding in 1086, more like 1986 its a common fake

A magnet on the Thaler will show that being a fake also.
Wash your hands after handling these rough fakes, they have been known to contain arsenic, lead and other toxic materials

 

The Thaler should look like this one of mine, notice how clear the date is compared to the fake one.

 

Fake ones.
