need some help from some of you foreign coin experts

i found these two coins in my half boxes. i was wondering if they are silver. the round one is from bermuda and dated 1970. the one shaped like a stop sign is dated 1978 and has the words "D.G REG.F.D-1978" on the side of the obverse and has the words "NEW PENCE" on the reverse.

Most silver was out of coins by 1970. There are a few exceptions.
