Found these coin/medals in a small village in Thailand. They're heavy so I think they may be made of silver.

Does anyone have any idea what they are?

Thanks for your help.

The other two are pilgrimage tokens from South East Asia given to those taking the Haj to Mecca for good luck. The second one is from Thailand and a good description can be found here:

The first looks like a dollar (Yuan) from the Republic of China, dated year 3 (1914) and listed in Krause as Y329. The original is silver, but I am not sure if yours is an original or a replica. There are so many fakes coming from Asia I would almost assume that it is a fake until proven otherwise. You would need to weigh it and test it to be sure.

Thanks everybody for the information. I'll take the coins to a shop to determine if they are really silver.
