First coin is a 'Trade Dollar' from United Kingdom.

This is certainly a fantasy coin. No 17th century coin would look like this. I'm not sure what it was meant for, but I'd be surprised if it had been created before the 1950s or 60s.

As for the "trade dollar", at $10 (and free shipping!), it has got to be a Chinese imitation, as there are thousands on the market (and many posted in Numista).

I didn't have to enlarge the picture to see the first one was a very cheap cast counterfeit British Trade Dollar.

My first thought on the second one was that someone had re-engraved a well worn ancient, but then I found a couple more on ebay. It's just a cheaply made token.

I think it's supposed to be this coin (Greek Bactrian Eukratides I, 171-135 BC):
