So I picked up these two coins for 25 cents each. I'm guessing their replicas, but curiosity still buzzes within. After some research they appear to be a crusaders coin from the county of Tripoli, and the other a Reyes Catolicos coin. If anyone could tell me whether these are replicas of authentic, that would be great.

Hello and welcome.

Unfortunately your suspicions are correct. They are both replicas. The Tripoli coin is mass-produced and sold in sets of replica "crusader coins", like the ones sold here. The Reyes Catolicos is a very commonly replicated coin, what with the connections to Columbus, pirates and all that; yours is not quite as bad as the gilt-bronze ones that often turn up on the forums, but it still bears some similarity to those - such as "R-E-backwardsZ" instead of "REX".

The crusaders themselves had no money, but the transported money for the Knights templar....

I think these two are from "Collection Normatensyl"

They were free samples given to the medical profession in France as part of an advertising campaign in 1971-1972 by the Theraplix Laboratory for their hypertension treatment.
