Welcome to Tnet.

Can you give us a bit more information? How did you come by these? They don’t appear to have been dug. Do you believe them to be silver? Diameters?

They look to me to be ‘bracteates’ (very thin stamped coins used as local currency in mediaeval Europe) and possibly pfennigs from the German States.

There are numerous fakes, both contemporary and modern.
