Found at local park in a couple of hours, one afternoon in a not very big space.
Think one maybe a Aussie coin and the wavy one has no date and s mans head with a tall hat.

The one with the scalloped edge looks similar to an Indian 1 anna. It's not, but could be a good start? The script looks indian.

Hi there Snowdrop. Just checking out your coins and i have a couple of wavy ones too. The small one is from Cyprus 1944 and the larger one from Hong Kong 1993. Not sure where your one is from tho.
The 2 cent is from Aussie.
