I think that those coins where minted some time between 1572-1733.

I have a coin similar to those shown but in silver. In Central America we call them "macacos". An old coin's expert in New Orleans told me that mine was from the Potosi mine in Mexico and that the irregular shape is because they were rolled out (like cookie dough) then cut. thus distorting the sides.

The silver ones are rather common here, but I haven't seen a gold one.

Would those be Spanish Reales, maybe 1715 ?

Spanish Escudo Gold Cob Coin, larger than a USA Quarter dollar, minted 1622-1756 in Viceroy of Nuero Granada, South America at the Spanish mint of Nuero Reino, under King Philip V of Spain.
