Does anyone recognize these two coins?

Second one, try Turkey or maybe Egypt. Going from memory on this so cut me some slack here.

Yes the other is Ottoman. It would help if it was in focus so the date was clear.

Yep. I couldn't read the date so I didn't try to look it up.

Thank you all for your replies.

I appreciate that you are willing to share your knowledge of World and Ancient coins with me.

I will post some additional threads about coins in the 85 I picked up that I am not able to identify on my own.

I read the Ottoman Egypt copper coin as 1/40 Qirsh - Abdul Hamid II.

If it is around 17 mm then 1/40 Qirsh if around 20 mm then 1/20 Qirsh.

The date appears to be AH 1293 and regnal year 24 or AH 1293+24-1 or AH 1316 (AD 1898/1899).
