First coin I thought might be Iraq but I can see nothing with this portrait. The weight is 5.95g

If anyone could decipher the years that would also be useful. Thanks in advance :)

First coin is maybe Egypt? Date is given in AD scheme, but written in Arabic: 1953.

Second one I am pretty sure is from Nepal, ca. 1910-1930

Thanks Finn... The first one appears to be Egypt km#361 10 milliemes (though the date doesn't like up since it was produced in 1938 and 1942)

The second coin I couldn't find under Nepal, any second opinions?

Quick correction, the date on the Egyptian coin is 1943.

The portrait is of the last Egyptian king Faruq I.
