Hello,

Can someone help me with these 2 pieces?
First one has a lot of readable text but extensive googling didn't help me. Weight: 0,77grams, diameter 15mm

The second one appears to be a St. George medal but I haven't found one that looks like this, any idea on how old this one might be? Weight 1,55grams, diameter: 25mm

Thanks in advance!

For the first coin, I agree german or maybe austrian states. On the obv (you second pic) it has MON and then the rest of the rim is chewed away. This is where the name would have appeared on this coin. Also on the obv, it looks ilike a number 3 in the oval at the top. This is the denomination.

The legend would appear to read [IVL] CLI Z MON, for the German duchy of Jülich-Cleves-Berg. The arms look to be those of Duke Wilhelm V:
