I believe that is a cop coin,used in the Afgan society,which includes tribal clans,ethnic subgroups and religious sects,,but not for sure.
the other item looks like part of a boy scout emblem.

I agree with Terry that the emblem looks like a boy scouts pin of some sort. Does it have some marks on the back where a pin could have been soldered across it?? The other item is a copy of a coin shown here:

I bet the coin collectors get a lot of them fakes.

The first one is a Brownie pin. I would have to agree with everyone else on the second. It just doesn't look old enough to be anything else but a fake. >:#
