Hello, any insight into these coins would be much appreciated. They are part of an old estate lot and I was told they were purchased about 40 years ago. Any idea of what they are and potential value would be much appreciated!!
The second one most certainly has to be a fake. It is suppose to be 8 escudos from Peru, but the details are not right—especially the castles seen in the third picture, which are completely wrong.
And the first one is suppose to be silver: 1 daalder from the Dutch Republic (Gelderland), more specifically. I do not know anything about those coins (although I also doubt this one's authenticity), but an older CCF thread about a coin that looks very similar in shape, albeit not gold, can be found here.
