The one on the left is (a piece of) a drachm or didrachm from Rhodes - similar to the one I use for my avatar, but from a later period; the magistrate's name is AINHTWR. The wildwinds example for this magistrate is in even worse ocndition than yours. It's probably a drachm, since I think Rhodes stopped making didrachms by the time this magistrate issued coins.
The one on the right is too badly worn to identify, except that with only a crude crosshatching pattern on the reverse it will probably date from the archaic period (c. 500 BC).
