As you can see, worn.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

The coin on the left is probably of Otoman Empire. And the right one probably a french one. Not so sure though.

Possible second

A 4 pence (4d) coin! that's a new one on me.
I knew about the small round Silver 3d bit which is similar to look at in size to the old silver Sixpence.
I'm also in possession of four coins of the later Thrupenny bit. A bronze 12 sided Three pence piece.

I think your estimate is pretty close but it's a tough call. Definitely a Young Queen Victoria on the face but the obverse is utterly obliterated.

​Hello hindole,

Thank you for the pointer to Ottoman Empire. I've reviewed your lead on this site at least. I compared every coin registered on the Ottoman pages.
My coin has on one side three 5 pointed stars set in a triangle formation toward the edge of the coin and stylised foliage on part of the face circumference. The obverse features an Islamic symbol in the centre with perhaps a ribbon/bow overhead and foliage migrating down around the face circumference from the top centre ribbon/bow.
The very same Islamic symbol appears on many different Ottoman coins shared on Numista.

Thank you for helping me. I continue to search.

​Hello,

The left coin is actually from Egypt, while it was ruled as an Ottoman eyalet; it's a 2 Qirsh coin, one of these two (impossible to tell due to wear on the reverse):

And KLiao is probably right on the right hand coin being either a 3d or 4d coin with Victoria's young head- not French at all! :8D
Wow,
Thank you for your dedication to this little ID project. To “coin” a phrase, “you are bang on the money” with the Egypt coin suggestions. It is definitely one of the two you suggest. I will examine and compare closely tomorrow but the search is concluded.

Thank you again,

UKJohn
