I found these today, but I cannot tell what the completely worn out silver coin is. I can only read the "cent" on the back. Also is other a token or a Japan coin or?? And help would be appreciated. 20160416_201948-1.webp20160416_202144-1.webp20160416_202527-1.webp20160416_202819-1.webp20160416_203056-1.webp20160416_203109-1.webp20160416_203134-1-1.webp20160416_203134-1.webp20160416_203144-1.webp

Aluminum coin is a Japanese Yen, Year 40 (1965). The silver coin might be a France 50 Centimes piece from 1964-9. Nice finds.
 

Wow, thanks to david680, for leading me to the 50 centimes 1964.... and now I have determined it is exactly a 50 centimes, but 100 years earlier at 1866! The letter positioning, the font, the line above "CEN"... it is all there! Awesome. This is my oldest find yet. Here are the pics showing the match.Screen Shot 2016-04-17 at 9.00.27 AM.webpScreen Shot 2016-04-17 at 9.01.36 AM.webp20160416_203134-1-1.webp
