The top one is a 5 cents from Ethiopia, but it's supposed to have a lion's head on the back, like this one.

If it's really blank on the obverse, then it's probably been ground off.

Thanks Graceoutpost and Sap....The reverse of the ethiopian 5 cents is smooth,thats why I thought it was a token....Too bad too,I kinda liked the lion on the reverse of that coin...

The one that GraceOP commented on,I had no Idea at all what it was..

My hat is off to both of you
