Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 12:41 pm @newton1957, first welcome to CCF. Second, perhaps I can help a little bit. On your second picture, the inscription looks a little like FOECVNDI CORDIS (fertile heart). I'm not finding token with this inscription on the interwebs (numista is a great site for finding stuff as one example), so perhaps I don't have it quite right. I'll keep looking though and post here if I make any additional progress.

I'm not finding token with this inscription on the interwebs "FOECVNDA CORONIS". The coin in question looks like a token from the Kingdom of France dated 1667. The French version of its Numista page has much more information as compared to its English page, so I will post that link instead of the other.
