What types of coins are these? Are they all made of silver?
I got a few as gift from someone, but all coins are magnetic (they still fast like glue to magnets) and have somewhat a rough look:
The coins don't look like silver: they have an aluminium-like pail tone, but they stick to magnet (strongly!), but they don't feel, nor sound like silver. They look a bit like trinkets, could be replicas (plausible).
They are lighter than nicket or steel. Probably some alloy.
Some sources on the internet:

I can find photos of several similar coins, but I don't know whether these are genuine or not, because:
- even if they're not silver, theoretically, they could be genuine and valuable
- they could be a rare version of a genuine coin
- I was unable to find clear description/presentation on the internet about: what they're supposed to look like/be made of/weigh etc.
What do you think?
Rare expensive coins or cheap fakes?
