Byzantine Trachy, circa 11-12th centuries. Not enough detail to say who it's of, maybe with larger pictures I might be able to.

I believe they are Alexius III 1195-1203 billon trachy Sear # 2011. Obverse bust of christ facing (worn away), reverse Alexius and St. Constantine.

It is possible. The seller only said that the first one might be John Komnenos Doukas (ruler of Thessalonica), and the second might be John III Doukas Vatatzes (emperor of Nicaea) - what do You think about this idea?
Anyway, thanks for help

There really isn't enough detail on either coin to be 100% certain. But from what I can make out they are both of the same emperor. I'm going to stick with my first choice of Alexius III.
