IT LOOKS LIKE ONE MADE WW2 OR LATER BUT IT IS WELL DONE WITH NICE DETAILS. THE COIN IS LIKELY OLDER THAN THE SWORD BUT IS A NICE DECORATIVE TOUCH AND IF FROM THE TIME OF RAJA BROOKE A NICE ARTIFACT IN ITS SELF. UNFORTUNATELY I CANT SAY WHICH TRIBAL GROUP MADE IT BUT THE WORKMANSHIP IS GOOD THRU-OUT, A NICE EXAMPLE. :)

My guess on the coin is

a Dutch East Indies 1/10 guilden coin,
Google this coin and you will find image
Know nothing about sword though

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a "Javanese" mandau. :)
