Well for starters they are NOT coins they are privately made tokens/medallions. As such there really is no interest or demand from coin collectors. So the only value they would have is whatever the metal they are made from is worth. And a great many of these things like that from these private mints are just gold or silver plated base metal. If the composition and fineness of the metal isn't marked on the tokens, they are probably just plated.
