This too could be a replica coin, many parts of it lead me to believe it's a replica.

PS: I would like to know where you acquired these coins, a market would surely be a place to buy replica coins.

I can tell by looking at it that it's a replica. I'd say 90% sure.

Guys, it doesn't help too much if you say "it's a replica", but don't say what it's a replica of.

It appears to be a Northumbrian "beast sceat" of king Eadberht, like this UKDFD example or this one, but I'd agree there's something about the artwork that doesn't seem to match any examples I could find. The style of the beast, in particular, doesn't look angular enough, or maybe it's just the fuzzy picture making it look bad. But once again, I have to plead ignorance of the variability in design.
