    Well.... late to the game... interesting.... Harry Houdini has always intrigued me... I have read books about him and he was quite amazing... The story of his death is also interesting - check it out. Cheers, RickO

    Answer is. That both coins relate to Houdini. The first is obvious the second a little more deceiving as that was the plane that Houdini toured in. The Mintage of Silver pcs 1926 tributes his death. Both coins would be considered MT’s or Magician Tokens. The guide published 30 years ago as a TAMS journal is currently being updated with better pics and more information hoping to publish in 2019

    I actually thought that part of the answer was that they are both round. ;)
