I suspect the bottom coin is late 14th Century but I cannot read the legend. I know a man from Philly who probably can and will.  |

It says TCH-4, RR on the bag the coin came in. The Diam. is 24 mm, I am not able to give any info about weight. I think its a silver coin.

Thank you rooneydog. I found it. Tibet Silver 1 and ½ Srang Buddhist coin dated (Tibetan year 16-12), which corresponds to 1938 of the western Calendar, with picture of a Tibetan Snow Lion, Himalayan mountains in the background.

Tornesello of Venice, all right. Lion of St Mark in the first pic, with wings and halo, with legend VEXILEFER VENETIA. The easiest letters to make out on the other side are DVX at the lower left, but that doesn't help, since we know it bears the name of a Doge (dux) of Venice. I'll keep at it; don't want to let rooneydog down!

I think the letters preceding DVX, reading from 3:00 to 6:00 in the pic, are NERIO. This should make the full legend ANTO VENERIO DVX, for Antonio Venier, Doge of Venice from 1382-1400. Here's an example:  Edited by philadelphian
