I have these two coins along with 1 zloty and 50 groszy coins. Just wondering if these are worth anything and if anyone knows the history of them I’d love to learn. Thanks!

It looks like these are test samples of a 1934-vintage commemorative coin: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_z%C5%82otych_1934_J%C3%B3zef_Pi%C5%82sudski-Orze%C5%82_Strzelecki
Only about 300 were made, 100 each in three versions, so if yours are genuine they’re worth a pretty penny – around 4 to 5 thousand EUR apiece:
