This one is also not an ancient coin, I would guess it is of fairly modern origins, and probably made for jewelry, same as your first one.

I can't even tell what the prototype of this one is supposed to be. Given that it's definitely not Athenian, but has an identical border to the other one which did look Athenian, I'd have to conclude that they're both suspect, as Victor says.

These two pieces are not suspect as they are not trying fool anyone! They are fairly modern pieces loosely based on Greek coins. They are clearly not real coins, nor even ancient.
