These are coins from Switzerland, probably a 2 franc coin in the top and as Coinaholic says a 5 franc in the lower one. Worth close to 7 USD in exchange, or a bit more if either is old enough to be silver (up till 1960s; top picture doesn't look it but bottom might be).

Both photos are of the same coin and I was puzzled that it showed no date or denomination.If needed,I could remove it from its holder to take a closer photo

I'll be darned! That's cool. I've never seen something with the two obverses. What's the diameter? Must be some sort of token. You might google some Swiss numismatic/exonumis dealers, try putting in some German to catch dealers (Münzhandlungen) in German-speaking Switzerland, there seem to be more of them (online at least) than there are French-language dealers. Very cool item!

Sorry must have been a Blonde moment.Went back and checked and there was two coins, a 2 and 5 frank coin, and I only posted one side of each coin.I will repost the other two pics shortly.Thanks
