Hello all. I have these two coins which were made into pendants. The one on the right appears to be Egyptian, and has some more markings on the reverse which got covered. The one on the left has no indication at all. Can anyone tell me what exactly these are?

Unfortunately, both of these are imitation coins, and not actual coins. The left pendant is imitating a US $10 gold piece, and the right one an Egyptian 5 or 10 Mallim piece.

Both 'coins' lack any type of denomination and the portraits are a bit crude, typical for imitations. The imitation gold piece is not gold but some type of brass - the colour is wrong for it to be gold. The Egyptian 'coin' also looks to be made of brass, rather than bronze.

Here's how the actual coins should look:
