    Any numismatic expert here?

    Those "coins" don't look legitimate, they're simply too thin and there are crease marks.

    I've held ancient coins including small ones and these are completely inconsistent with what I've handled.

    I have some very thin gold coins in my collection from around that neck of the woods, and they do have the crease marks.
