Any idea what they are...if they are indeed anything? I found them when I was a kid and had forgotten about then 'til now.

Interesting pieces and welcome to CCF!

The one on the left is a counterfeit of a medieval Austrian klippe coin from 1577. Here is more info about that one:

The one on the right references an ancient silver stater from Pamphylia, Aspendos. Given the crude style, though, it's quite likely a modern production.

Thanks everybody! I can see the second coin in the replica set as well :) And very cool to read a bit about ancient coins, as it is not a subject I often come across.
