I think those are ancient Indian coins or may be fakes
It is a drachm from the Pratihara-Pala supremacy, ca. 780-980AD.  The current area is around Northern India-Pakistan and is classified in Mitchiner as MNIS 355-376.  Notice the resemblance to the Sassanian drachms.  Attached are my specimens for comparisons.  The top coin is Prathihara-Pala drachm whereas the bottom one is a Sassanian drachm:



And your coin flipped in the correct orientation.  Notice how the attendants on the reverse have been corrupted to almost stick figures and the abstractness of the fire altar in these coins.  Even the portrait on the obverse has been corrupted to a great extent...
