Two 1800’s African copper coins

[Relicific]

These are the most unexpected coin finds for me this year.
Actually found them close together on the same hunt,which makes sense
I guess.
The one with the beads along the edge is a 10 centimes- Ali III from
Tunisia minted in 1881-83.
The second,also minted in same time, is a 1 Pysa from Zanzibar.
Thanks to Member Mackaydon with the ID.

In the woods, where I do most of my hunting.

Very cool! Finding things like that (so far from where they came from) makes you wonder about how they ended up where you found them.

I was thinking maybe a returning soldier dropped these coins.
