What are these coins? The bottom one is in the size of a fishscale( little nickel).

the top coin looks like a UK 3d (3 pence) from 1900 to me

The bottom one I can't really determine, but it says New Foundland on the obverse.

The bottom appears be a love token.

You can find a little bit about love tokens here:

the bottom one is a love token, Franz has had a few of them around here, as for the top one you should ask maybe a few of the guys from across the pond for thier opion biggrin.gif

The bottom is a Newfie (Newfoundland, Canada) 5 cent silver made into a love token. It has my favorite British obverse image, the Young Head Victoria, which should make it easy to narrow down the missing date to a certain range , say 1865-96.
