Sorry for late response DCMatt coz in my village there is no any such instrument for weighing such small things secondly nor laboratory for testing about the elements so just for your reply i go out to a nearer city and get all info about it ie.
the first image 1.jpg is made up of brass and its weight is 4.500 grams
and its diameter is 1.75 cm.
image 2.jpg is a silver coin weight is about 4.500 grams and diameter is 1.5 cm.

I m posting another coin image in what is it section please go for that and your reply needed. thanks.

the coins and history of asia
Containing information and scans of over 3000 coins, these pages are to be a resource for students of Near Eastern, Persian, Indian, Central Asian and Chinese history from 600 BC to 1600 AD. Permanent exhibits with emphasis on Sasanian, Hunnic and Central Asian coinages. Check back often and reload everything because I'm adding all the time. Begun in July 1996, I've resigned myself to the fact that this will take the better part of several dozen more years to complete. Oh well.

and good luck

Out of curiousity, were you simply digging when you found these coins or were you using a metal detector. May want to consider buying a metal detector. Could be a hotspot!
