Your first coin is from the Ottoman Empire. Most likely from Egypt or Turkey, although the mint-name is too badly worn for me to read. As for the date, the acession-year is AH1255, meaning the coin must be from the reign of Sultan Abdulmejid I (AD 1839-1861). The actual year of issue is too worn for me to read in those pics. This coin will not be valuable in this condition, less than a dollar.

Your second "coin" is not actually a coin. Rather, it is a "coin weight" - a weight designed to be the same weight as a gold coin, for use on a coin balance to test coins for authenticity. If you rotate the picture about 20 degrees clockwise, you can see the Roman numerals "XXII", with a crown above, and the letter "S" below. 22 shillings was the face value of a gold unite, an English coin from the 1600s. I've found several similar weights (in much better condition) for sale online, such as this one for sale for 94 pounds. Yours is in much much worse condition, so won't be worht anywhere near that much - maybe a couple of pounds, in Britain?
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
