Check weight/size/magnetism, should be non-magnetic, 22mm, 2.2g or so, and ring like silver when gently dropped.
Not much attention was paid to either the planchet or the strike when these were made, but those areas of "deposit" on both examples you post are not seen on 8 or 9 genuine coins I looked at on vcoins including some with provenance. It could be the remains of where some jeweler had used solder to turn these two coins into jewelry pieces, or perhaps a sign of a poorly cast counterfeit. I do not know very much about these and can't really speculate much further.
