Help needed to identify these two coins please, Arabic? [solved]

Hi
Can anybody help me identify these two coins please:




I've spent a lot of time trawling Google images and haven't managed to find anything the same.
If I at least knew the country of origin it may help narrow the search.

Thanks in advance
Toby
The bottom one is in Hebrew, so probably from Israel. It doesn't look like an Israeli coin I know, it's probably a token. The first to me looks like a souvenir imitation of some Medieval European coin.
For the second one, I think it's a censer piece from 1920. You can have a look at this article, that may help.
"Görlitzer Schekel"

Thank you all for your replies and the positive I.D. on the Schekel.
After posting this thread I found the wonderful tool to help identify various alphabets.
I'm now wondering if the first coin could be of Thai origin? I'm also thinking that it probably is some kind of token/medal rather than currency?

​The first coin is something like this: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces44041.html. The writing is definitely Armenian. But yours looks to be a replica version and not authentic.
Thank you Arusak, that's exactly what it is, well a souvenir replica at least.
