The second coin down is Turkish you can look up Turkish coins and it will tell you how to date them.

The bottom token is Masonic. Some say the initials stand for "Huram of Tyre, Widow's Son, Sent To King Solomon". Huram of Tyre is the only stonemason-architect mentioned by name in the Bible (I Kings 7: 13-14 and elsewhere), and was responsible for overseeing the construction of Solomon's Temple. As such, in Freemasonry he is held in high esteem.

A contributor in Yahoo offered this explanation:
The "K.S.H.T.W.S.S.T." symbol on a headstone indicates that the person had completed the crytic degrees of the York Rite and was a "Royal Arch Mason" in theYork Rite Degrees of Freemasonry.
