This is about 10mm in diameter and appears to be silver or billion. I don't know if it's oriented correctly (I kinda doubt it). Any guesses?

That's outta my league. Early Ottoman would be my wildcard guess.

There's some vaguely similar designs here: Link

Hope this helps!

I'd guess an ottoman Akce as well.

This is a 'damma' (fractional dirhem) of 'Abd al Rahman, c.950 AD, one of the Habbarid amirs of Sind. It appears to be a variety of Album 1494, with a slightly different arrangement of the inscription on the obverse.

The bottom one is real worn script and should be rotated 90 degree to the left.
