Hi! I'm new here. I found these two coins under the back seat of my first car - a mustang - about twelve years ago. I haven't a clue what they are. Can you help me identify them?

They are toy replicas of colonial Spanish 8 reales. They sell them at places like gift shops at the beach.

Genuine cob pieces are struck from VERY uneven pieces if silver, that can hardly be called 'blanks' and thus complete design detail is impossible to obtain

All of the design detail on this piece are very evenly depicted, and thus this piece cannot be authentic.

What Fin235 has said, is right.

Not my first car, but I have spent some time behind the wheel of the German competitor of the original Mustang:
a Mercedes 450 SLC.
Didn't find any coins - not even German ones!
