    The first one is a white-metal (often high-zinc alloy) "medal" often sold to tourists as silver souvenirs.

    The German I'm not sure about, sorry.
  • The second medal is a medal issued for someone who had made an accomplishment in agriculture.
    In many European countries, they had shows or fairs, and a skilled and lucky winner could collect a medal like that.
    They are often very beautiful, and are nice collecting objects, although they are not very rare.

    The text reads something like:
    "General Agricultural Fair of Köln 1865"
