I can't read anything on either coin.  I'm hoping someone can identify what these are.  There are 2 coins and a picture of the front and back of each.




Thank you.

1st is definitely from Iran, radrick007 is right. Try and use the calendars in Numisdocs to get the date and go from there...however it might be a new year's medal.

I guess I didn't look closely enough! I'll blame the picture! x. Another howler! Although the Ethiopian lion rampant does look similar to the sword holding lion of Iran. Oh well! It is early.

okay, I finally got it straight.

the first coin is 5 santeem from 1944.
the second coin is 50 santeem from 2008.

Thank you for all your help.
