Unfortunately these seem to be cast coins and are not real.

The second one is a fantasy: no such place as Maxxico ever existed, let alone a coin resembling this.

I like the Maxxico fake. It's as fake as my post.

There was a country called Maxxico but it broke off the mainland and sank into the Pacific in 1886.

A little known fact kept secret by the governments of Mexico and the US.
Geronimo escaped from the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona. The United States Army began the Geronimo Campaign to capture the Apache leader who had fled into Mexico.
It was during this campaign that Captain Crawford, of the 3rd Cavalry, was ordered to proceed south from Fort Apache to pursue the natives.
Crawford pushed Geronimo's Apaches far south into Maxxico and at night began chinking away at the border with hammers and chisels.
By morning the country of Maxxico broke off the mainland and fell in the Pacific.
The surviving Apaches including Geronimo, swam ashore and hid out in the mountains for many years until they stole a 1905 Locomobile and robbed banks throughout Texas and Oklahoma. They turn to a life of crime after Buffalo Bill Cody had turned them down to join his Wild West Show.
Geronimo is seen here at the wheel in a stovepipe top hat.

@TNG, that history is little known, yes; fact, no.

If those are real, I'm Tinker Bell.
These aren't even laughable fakes... You have to wonder if someone was on hallucinogenic substances when making that 2nd coin...
They look like they came out of a cartoon.
