Sorry no pic's some one gave me about 50 world coins to look up and I have identified all but these 2.

First coin about the size of a dime appears to be silver. Has king george on the front with the following lettering. Georgius v Del Gra Rex Et Ind imp back has a crown at top with 10 under it and wreath around the outside and the center is completely worn away. No date. Thought it might be from India but can't find it in my book.

Second is a one pound coin with the queen on the front and Dgreg FD 1983 ElizabethII and edge lettering DECUS ET TUTAMEN

Well, pics make all the difference on ID.
Since you don't have one for the George V coin, take a look at this one pulled from eBay--look familiar?

2-Coins-That-I-Need-Country-For-|-British-Pound,-Canada-10c

That's a worn 1909 10c piece from Canada, sterling silver.
The date isn't visible at all? Oh well...

Your pound is English..

Great Britain 1 pound
Obverse: D.G.Reg.FD.1983 - Elizabeth II
Reverse: One Pound - Dieu et mon droit (God and my right)
Reverse Banner: Honi soit qui mal y pense (Evil is he who thinks evil of it)
Rim: DECUS ET TUTAMEN (An ornament and a safeguard)
Diameter: 22.5 mm
KM# 933

There were 2 - silver (proof) and nickel-brass. I *think* the silver does not have the edge inscription.
