Wonder if anyone can help identify what these coins/ tokens were used for? I know nothing about them at all so if anyone can add any info then please feel free to post! If you click on the images you will see a bigger version.

I'm guessing hebrew. Lots of coins of that ilk show cups/grails and trees/plants. Just a guess mind, but may give you something to start on.

I reckon they are hebrew as well, maybe more a tourist thing than anything else, dont think they are of any great age!

Hope this helps you.;)
The second one is a false shekel, I know cos it took me ages to find out what mine was,
I think the second one is a variation of it.
If you look up false shekel you will find pics of variations.

If you click on every bit down the left I am sure you will eventually find it.
