The first one has a reeded edge, no date, 2.05g and about 19mm. I am not sure of the metal type.   This second picture I am not sure if it is a coin or what it may be. I thought it was interesting that some put a 5 on it. It weighs 12g and is about 23mm. I think it is lead but not sure.  Thanks for the help. |

I thought about it being a button too but I wondered why the 5 on it also.
The first coin I am at a loss on and have searched the internet for the last 6 months or more trying to find something similar.

Since your first item has no date, ruler, or country listed, it is most likely a token.  |

As others said, the first one is not a coin - likely as was mentioned before, a gaming token or similar. Quote:

It could be a weight, try to determine the weight as accurately as possible and then check if there is a weight it might be 5 times of. |

The first, looks to be a variation of two currently available faces of arcade tokens. Since the purchaser is able to pick the stock dies that are used on the obverse and reverse. Along with the metal type.

I think the second is not a button. I have seen tags very similar to this. The number was larger but otherwise very similar.A string went through the holes and was tied to whatever was being identified as #5.
