    They are metal and look like mini versions of ancient coins. Has anyone seen these before?
    I did find one similar item in my search but they are gold. I also found a lot of real tiny coins from Roman and Greek times but they were more likely to have profiles on one side.

    Thanks!

    There are some very tiny coins out there. Just look up "smallest coins".

    THe one on the left is William III of the Netherlands. It looks like someone drilled it as a charm or a fob. It's totally legible, which rather helps. The one in the middle? No clue.
