thanx sarah
Answer Hi Sarah,
I'm unfamiliar with the doubloon you described, but if genuine, it could be worth thousands of dollars.
The other coin is a Rowntrees Coronation Medal commemorating the 1911 Coronation of H.M.King George V and H.M.Queen Mary. Most likely this is brass. I have not seen any gold ones, but the brass ones have been selling in the $2-$5 range.
You should get first-hand professional appraisals for these two coins to be sure of what they are. You can take them to any coin show and get free appraisals from the dealers there. Try checking the following websites to see if there are any upcoming coin shows in your area :
