Hello everyone. I am very new to collecting so I have no idea what I am doing, I have found these 2 coins or tokens I am not sure which they could be fake but I would still live to know if anyone knows anything about them please.

Thank you in advance and I apologise if I have put this in the wrong place as I am a bit confused.

The H K below second image is Hans Krauwinckel and is
a French token (jeton) made in Nuremberg, Germany.

Also on the second image it looks like EUROPA lettering, and it reminds me of
what I read on this page (as I have the coin) ...

​Sacrilege!! We all know it was Mario that collected coins and is therefore the right choice for a welcome post. This joker collected rings but kept dropping them!

​Zak you are AMAZING even though it's a token it's still so pretty. That's what is mainly important to me, is that they are pretty and just funny to look through. I may never find anything worth loads of money but I just think this is a great collection to have. I don't have many at the moment I am trying to buy some collections off Ebay but I will get there.

Thank you for your help :-)
By the way, I think no one mentioned the first token. I believe it's a play token to use on an amusement park arcade.

​ Thanks I am now searching for it but so far I have found nothing like it. I was thinking Japan maybe?
