First, welcome to the site...hope you'll hang around!

May I ask, what state or country did you find them in?

My initial thoughts are that they may be replica's, but then I'm
not a coin expert. Rest assured though, one will be along soon enough.

Hi, welcome to TreasureNet.

More pics on the darker areas would help; as would sharp focus.

Welcome to Tnet.

Difficult to say if those are genuine from the rather poor pictures (we need better lit and sharper closeups) plus diameters and weights, but here’s some tentative ID information.

The smaller coin appears to be a penny from after the Norman conquest of Britain, and of the commonest ‘PAXS’ type (from the letters on the pellets in the quarters of the cross). These were struck between 1066-1100 by William I and then William II. Here’s a similar example, believed to be either late William I or more probably William II:



The larger coin, for which you are only showing one side has a “yugo y haz de flechas” (yoke and bundle of arrows) design. This was a Spanish badge dating back to the co-monarchy of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile and used by subsequent Catholic monarchs to represent a united Spain and as the "symbol of the heroic virtues of the race". Like this, from a 1 real piece of Ferdinand and Isabella from between 1474 – 1504, although I’m not saying this is your coin:



Need to see the other side of that one, as well as better pictures. Does it have the Spanish armorial shield on the other side?

It would also be helpful to know whether these came out of the ground or how/where you obtained them.

Just realised that you did in fact show both sides of the larger coin... and it does have the Spanish armorial.

Still need better pics.

In the 3rd picture I can make out a C O P in the outer ring of letters spaced apart and I think you will find a disguised Y also. So I believe that is a fantasy treasure coin with the word COPY disguised into the ring of letters. IMO

If the word COPY is there, it sure doesn't comply with the Hobby Protection Act as to how it must be presented.

Although I can't see it, I have doubts about authenticity too. We need better pictures and weights/dimensions.

Both look wrong-un's to me

Smaller coin looks clipped - could be genuine though...!
Great coins, however they turn out - be happy you have them...!

Chumboy,
How about more in focus pics so that we may have a chance of giving you a better description of the coins.
Is that possible?
