I was thinking they were fakes but was unsure because i thought that they might have made coins like this back then so i thought it check, What makes you think they're fakes?

They're cast pewter copies! No doubt about it!

Yes they look like the sort of thing they sell in museums for souvenirs.

You might struggle giving them away, because the recipient would have to find a use for them. Not easy given selling them on eBay would be counter-productive for the hobby..
