    These are Gold finished coins (2 I believe) that commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' 'founding' of America (1492-1992).
    The mystery is that I don't know what coins are in the box. It is sealed with plastic and I can't find any information about the value of mystery coins sealed in the (seemingly) original plastic. I know that some Columbus coins are worth more than others, but without opening the box, I don't know what coins are in there. I also know that with other collectibles, items in the original packaging are usually worth a lot more. But does the latter apply to coins? Or should I open it to definitively see what's inside? If anyone has any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

      They are commerative..and gold finish..meaning wanna be collector item. The value is very minimal and search reveals a bunch of similar ones and other type collector coins. It apoears they are in a wooden box.
