@wallet, are you positive that these are German (and not French)? I'm asking because of the cross visible in the center of both of these pieces.

I get a cross with pellets in the angles for the first photo, but not sure it's a cross in the second?

And it seems there should be enough lettering for an ID ... if we could figure out which way the letters run . Could the first photo have the letters of HENRICVS in some kind of order? Or is it CONRADVS?

I think that you might just have it there @tdz: a Denar from 11th Century Dortmund.

@Spence and @tdziemia thank you! I agree. It was one of my possible ideas as well.
