The left coin is a brass imitation coin made for "belly dancer" costumes.
The "Arabic" writing on it is meaningless.

The right coin is an Iraq 50 fils AD 1938.

The imitation coin is a very commonly seen type. They are based on the design of an Ottoman Algeria 1 budju: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces35358.html

Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff
