What do you think?
Tested - not silver.
The crown is 38 mm/ 20.7 gram;
other coin 27 mm/ 11.5 gram.
Received with old coins bulk lot from UK.
Maybe old fake?

~21g is too light for the crown to be silver or lead, it is most likely composed of a white metal alloy(varying percentages of tin, zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, etc)

What do you think about origin? The crown looks from die (not cast)...
Also the second coin - replica of who coin is with this diameter?

Komsu, 1887 Crown is a cast, seen some examples of them in Russian or ex-Soviet flea markets and coin markets (namely in Yekaterinburg) They seem to be of Chinese origin.. I don't think they're made of dies because of the many cracks and wavelike filling on te surface of the coin.
