    First looks to be a Parthian tetradrachm(?), maybe Volagases IV. That is, if it's authentic. Here's a similar piece:

    Second one looks to be a Spanish cob. To my admittedly untrained eye, they both look somewhat suspect. Too shiny in the wrong places.

    Agreed. Both look slightly suspect to me, but in my case, that is only a knee-jerk, instinctive reaction and nothing definitive.

    They just look a little bit "off", somehow. But only a little bit.

    I'll echo the sentiment that neither of these looks right
