They look like Middle-eastern or North African coinage. The second one has a date of AH 1082 (1672 AD).

The date is visible on the second coin : AH 1082 (1671 AD).
I collect coins and tokens which circulated in Africa from 18th century to 2000. I sell about 7000 illustrated world coins from http://www.avscoins.com.
