One side looks to be vaguely based on a Jewish Revolt coin, the other one looks more Roman or Greek.

Actually both sides replicate, in the wrong metal, a Judaean AR sela of the Bar Kokhba Revolt....probably a Hendin 1388 (year two - 133/34 AD of the revolt) based on the legend. The reverse (OP top image) shows a lulav (frond of the date palm tree). The obverse shows the Jerusalem temple with what has been interpreted as a showbread table at center.
