Help with these 2 coins.

7 berichten
One has a star similar to the Morocco one, but I can't find a match, the other, I am clueless. As you can see the weight is the only thing certain as I weighted them. The star one has pretty defined sides, and should be easy to spot for anyone who knows where to look (a Star and what appears to be encircled text). The other one has one side that appears as an "eagle made of letters" (or skinny eagle), and on the other side a well defined square containing text.

As usual, any hints and help will be welcome:




2x2s are of the 21.5mm size, so you can determine diameter from there.

I maybe way off But the one with the star looks like Indian states Travancore. Early cash coins. The other look like it from Indian states too. I hope iam in the ball park with this. Good luck.
edit if they are indian states sujit-kumar can help
It is, what it is, or is it.
I'm sorry. My first thoughts were also one of the Indian Princely States, Indian Independent Kingdoms or Mughal Empire, but nothing seems to match there. Then I looked at Iran, Turkey, Morocco, Afghanistan but nothing there either.
I think it's going to be very difficult to determine which coins these are because there is so little information.
There is no date visible, these coins might be much older than I think.  I looked in the 1980 Deluxe Edition of the Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins which starts in 1700.
When I have more time, I still can look in The Standard Guide to South Asian Coins and Paper Money, which starts in 1556.
I think the hexagram one is from Iraq:

As for that second one, it looks like one of those ugly coins that are supposed to show a horseman on one side. (Kwarezim, Ghorid, Ghaznavid etc) But i couldn't find one on numista that has a square on the other side.
Thanks for the help so far.

It does look similar to the Iraq one. Size is also between the catalog's one.

The other one if you look closely it is actually text inside square inside circle.
