Can anyone please help me out with what these coins are and a possible value. I am guessing the copper one is possibly Indan based on the help SAP gave in another thread.

I believe the copper one is from mediaeval Sri Lanka, or perhaps nearby states in the southern tip of India. I can't see the details clearly through the 2x2, and I'm no expert in the series, so I can't be any more specific than that. I do know several dealers here in Oz seem to have come upon a hoard of Queen Lilavati coins from this series; this might be one of those.

Meanwhile, check out the zeno.ru page for Sri Lankan pre-colonial coins and you'll see some similar types.

The small "silver" one looks to me like a north India/Afghanistan "jital", kind of like the ones discussed in this old thread. IF it is, the "bull" and "horseman" are very, very degraded.
