Roman? British? American?

Hi,
See coins images enclosed. Although the second coin appears to be smaller than the first, it is not. Photographer limitations. They are very thin and seem to be similar in composition. The first one appears to have 5 petals in the center with fleur de lis, perhaps, emanating from them. The second coin has one square inside another with what I see as a fleur de lis (and other designis inside it as well) inside it also. Can't make much of the script around the edges. Any thoughts as to what these might be would be greatly appreciated. I inherited a collection that has American, British and also Roman coin, some of iit in good order, most of it not.
Thanks! Jon

First may be a jeton from Nuremberg, also too the second one perhaps.

Any of these three look like your first token ...

I cropped and rotated your second token images ...

and it looks like a ship on the obverse ...

Oh, my goodness! I think you have identified these coins. I see as part of the description of the second one it reads “meaningless legend around”. My sentiments exactly :). It’s truly amazing to me that you could match these so fast!
