    Curious. Some kind of modern fantasy, I imagine.

    That's obviously what they're supposed to do, but the legends make no sense. And what self-respecting mediaeval country would make bronze, silver and gold coins all the exact same size and design, using the exact same dies? It would have been too easy to plate low-value ones to pass them off as high-value ones.

    What do the other sides look like?

    I think your right about them being a fantasy set.

    I don't know what the other side is like (seller doesn't show). I came across them while browsing eBay and thought them odd:
