Ancient Coin ID

Gramps3

Can anyone identify? Looks like an ancient coin, bronze or copper, about the size of a U.S. dime. Obverse with face says "REX" under chin. Reverse has the horse with writing on top/bottom edges. I aso have a second somewhat similar coin but it only has a letter "T" under the horse.

It's Italian -- Kingdom of Naples, Ferdinand I "Ferrante" of Aragon (1458-1494), AE Cavallo

If genuine (hard to tell from the photos) it's a bronze Cavallo from Aquila in Italy. Struck under Ferdinand I of Aragon between 1458 and 1494. It looks to be a particularly nice example. Should be close to 18-20mm in diameter and around 2 grams in weight.
