I have no idea what these are, they are obviously not real...
But is it something like play money, or tourist tokens?
The seller has no idea either, so all info is welcome!

They are common modern fantasy pieces, feel free to weigh them and perform an SG test but I have never heard of them being composed of anything other than cheap white metal alloys.

Really, really poor imitations of old American coinage. Well, the first one is supposed to be an 1804 American silver dollar. The second one doesn't even exist, a dollar with the obverse of an IHC and the reverse of a non-existent dollar coin of that style. They look aluminum or copper-nickel. How did you get them, hope you didn't pay anything over $1.
