George III 1797 & 1790 fake tokens?

[Rob75 0]

All,

I would be grateful for some guidance regarding the attached coins.

I have been told they are fake but would like to seek further opinion.

The 1790 coin weighs approx 2g and is 20mm in diameter.

The 1797 coin weighs approx 3g and is 25mm in diameter.

Any information you could supply would be helpful in terms of grade, value etc...

Many thanks,

Robert

The 2nd looks like a gaming token, it has the inscription "in memory of the good old days" seen that many times on gaming tokens, so i'd assume thats what the 2nd one is.

The 1st one looks like it's trying to pass itself off as a spade Guinea
