Silver coin is .3g and 15.3mm, thin, maybe medieval?
Copper coin is 20.8mm and 4.3g, unusual lettering or characters?
I think their both hammered but I need help. Searching for similars has been tough. Thanks. Peace Roy

Nepal, Prithvi Vir Vikram (1881-1911), AE Paisa.
Year (at the bottom on the obverse) is not visible.
Same type https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=135573
The first coin is unlikely to be identified.
@IVB thanks for that. Are you using an OCR app or are you fluent in regional languages? Either way, you enhance my collecting journey, immensely. Have a good day.
I spun the silver coin around and took another image, seeing a few large letters, maybe D O R or P, and the tips of a fleur de lis in the center, I think. Peace Roy

@Namvet69 I can understand what language (or writing system) is on the coin and look further. Either I had met before these types of coins.
I will try to find info about this silver coin.
@Namvet69
Of course, it will still not be possible to determine – the key details are not visible.
It could be the letters "P O R" (for PORTVGAL) and it could be a Portuguese dinheiro like Afonso I.

Or it could be the letters "D · G · R" and it could be a Solidus from Swedish Livonia.

Et cetera et cetera.
In general, we can only guess endlessly.
@IVB thanks again. With a full strike coin for comparison, I am very sure it's a 1 solidus from Swedish Livonia. Interesting that the Romanian counterfeits are as collectable. Peace Roy
