Found these two on my last outing and haven't got a clue what they are.  Are they coins or maybe medals, commemorative or fakes.
No sign of fastenings or hangers. There seems to be a shield with something above it on the back of the 'Picassa' design copper.The one on the right is gilded and seems very ornate on the back.

Any idea you coin Gurus ?

I agree with romana.

The token is something like this one, but maybe not quite identical:

Many thanks to you both romana and Peter.
I had an idea I'd seen something like the copper before with different trades depicted in the 'boxes' but it was a long time ago.
The coat of arms on the shilling nearly drove me crackers. I knew I'd seen that before as well but couldn't place it.
Mystery solved, thanks  Grin

It makes you wonder how many fake coins have been in circulation over the years

Thanks for the comments fellas. Always nice to discover you've found something of interest though at the time I couldn't see anything. A soak for a couple of days and a gentle clean and hey, there was some detail.
Peter I think it is the one you gave me a link to. I can clearly see a figure in the top right hand 'box' . Would be interesting to know how it got down here.
