Big one is a Victoria penny, I don't know what date range off hand but I'd thing mid 1800's. I don't know the other one

Hey, you might have something special there.
Check this out. Look on the right side. If this is a real one it could be very old. Get it looked at by a pro.

First one is silver half shekel or tyre, yours is in amazing condition. Pretty rare coin so get it looked at and graded, worth a very pretty penny.

Update...

The shekel is a replica. I had an ancient coin expert look at it. Bummer. But a good history lesson nontheless!!
