Can you identify these coins?

I found these two coins a while back and I've been wondering what these are, where they are from and what the value might be. Does anyone have any ideas?

The first one, unless its actually a well-preserved medieval coin (unlikely), is probably some type of fantasy or ren-fair coin. The second I believe is an old Indian coin, but I don't read Hindi so I can't help much more than that without spending a long time in the Krause catalogue.
