I got these 2 small coins from an antique store in the Seattle area and I’m pretty sure they said they were Roman. I have no idea if that’s correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The roundish one is about the size of a US dime and the triangle one has its corners a little less than that. They seem quite small.

Edit 1: On the first one, I think the suggestion for India and Mughal is the right direction considering these coins look very similar: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/madurai_dynasty-1.html

Edit 2: Then again, could the first coin be a pirate coin? The thickness and design could be cut weirdly like this: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/numiscorner/239/product/coin_spain_philip_iv_2_maravedis_1658__copper/1323544/Default.aspx

    Been a week any luck? The writing on it looks Islamic to me, maybe it’s a middle eastern coin?

      No, not yet. I’ve just bought a 3d printer and that’s been my focus. I agree that it looks Islamic, I’m going to look into it more next week. I know I’ll get obsessed so I have to block out time. Thanks for bringing it up again, you guys came through super fast unexpectedly in a great way, now I have to do my part.
