I have the MEDAL

There are no Siamese coins shown in the SCWC with an elephant being ridden.

The smaller Y#49, a 50 satang-1/2 bhat of BE2472 (1929), has an elephant facing left, which has no rider, human or animal.

After the country's name change, Y#346, a much smaller 10 baht dated BE2541 (1998), is the only coin with an elephant and rider, but the elephant is shown head-on.

Y#207, a BE2530 (1987) 2500 baht gold proof about the size of your first one, is the only Thai coin with an elephant facing left, and it has no rider.

There is nothing like your bottom coin in the 19th Century volume either.

Bottom line - your bottom coin is either a token/charm/fantasy piece, or Krause simply missed it completely - which, although unlikely, is definitely possible.

The second is a (poor) replica of a Haw War campaign medal.

(It's 9 years after first being asked, but hopefully someone will find this interesting.)
