Attached are two images of two coins, the obverse and reverse. Sorry about the low quality images. I believe these to be jettons from Nurenberg. The brass colored one appears to be a dolphin type however I cannot identify the other. Can anyone give me a definite answer on types and dates for both of these?

Welcome!
It's a jeton type known as a "Venus penny." Nuremberg, copying earlier Low Countries originals. Corrupted arms of Philip the Fair, and a standing Venus figure.

Thanks!
Do you know what year it might have been minted?

I believe these have been studied by die variety, which could pin them down to date fairly closely. I don't have a copy of the Mitchener text. Here's a similar one that actually bears a date:
