An member of the dutch coin forum noticed me that this could be 2 tokens from the hoa hao sect in vietnam. He also told me that this forum would be the best place to ask for more info.

So, lets go.

What do I know about the tokens:

1st, I read 1st line HAO , 2nd line: 3
28/29 mm diameter
13,51 gramms

2nd, I read Z*6 (or if its turned the wrong way, its 9*Z) from high to low.
24 mm diameter
10,06 gramms

Both, the backside is flat. Metal is lead or zinc

Well, my main thought is that the word HAO here is far less likely to be referring to the Hoa Hao sect, than to the Vietnamese coin denomination called the "hao" (one tenth of a dong).

It's possibly better to try the guys at the zeno site. They specialise in eastern coins and I'm sure this one would spark interest. I'm not sure if anyone can post there at the moment and joining may be closed - but if you can't just post back here and I will post it for you.

I should add that they are quite particular with the images that are uploaded. You will need both sizes and a white background.
