    The first is islamic coin, the second probably from China.
    Please, tell me something more about them if you can.

    Tom,the first piece is unfamiliar to me,but the second piece is a charm,not a coin.

    I would think the second piece is "hell money". Fake money used in different Chinese ceremonies. Paper "hell money" is burned, but I'm not sure what the coins are for.

    Wolves69,it isn't Hell money or anything related to it.It is a good luck charm of some sort.

    As I know the hellmoney are prodeced to burn at the altair - to bribe evil ghosts.
    Very interesting tradition!

    Unfotunatelly, lucky tokens are very similar to coins.
