I bought a set of six silver coins at an antique store. Yes, they've been cleaned....but along with these two, there was an 1879 Hong Kong 20-Cents, 1965 Canada Half, Yunnan 3 Mace/6 Candareens (Y#259), and an 1888 India Rupee...so I'm quite happy with it. These two coins are just not wanting to tell where they are from, and it would be wonderful if someone has the knowledge to identify them. The one on the right is definitely Chinese because of the Pu design on the reverse, but I cannot find any pictures of this one.

They are not coins at all. Probably they are medals or some fantasy issue. If you want me to translate them for you, please have the pictures enlarged.

I have seen the left one (a medal) a few times, the right one seems to be a fantasy issue.

Unfortunatelly both pieces seem to be rather cheap recently produced copies, and not original fantasy coin or medal strikings.
