Are these electrotypes of any collector value?

I just noticed these and know absolutely nothing in their regards. Are they collectible(other than everything is collectible)? I've heard the term before and associated it with 1800 era copies. Thank you.

As you said, everything is collectible...
The more collectible electrotypes would be of rare coin types. Are those known medals or a known artist?

Some electrotypes are quite collectible. The first Libertas Americana medal example I had was an electrotype. I paid $50 for it and sold it for $60 when I purchased the real thing. Today I’ve seen them priced at several hundred.
There have been very well done electrotypes in EAC auctions, listed as such, of course.
European medals don't get a lot of love in the US, and electrotypes of European medals get even less.
No value at all on these specific electros
