Anyone know what it is? and does anyone want the other 2 coins? Free to a good home for the price of postage.

Not sure what it is, haven't seen anything like it (my guess is some sort of Turkish/Indian , but I really have no clue).
As for the other two, I'll gladly take them off your hands. I know someone that will want them.

I think the halved coin is from Spain. They halved coins in Spain and the wheat ear on the back is sometimes on Spanish coins.
