Can't say anything about the first, but the second coin is a 50 Lepta from Greece. It is Copper-nickel and the catalog number is KM#80.

I think the second one is a Greek 50 lepta of King Paul I.

edit: allranger beat me to it.

Judging by the writing, the first one is Greek as well.

The first coin appears to be an ancient Roman provinicial coin of the emperor Nero. It looks like it may be real but I need to do some checking to be sure.

I found a match to your Nero coin, it's an AR (silver) Tetradrachm from the Antioch mint, RPC# 4189. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe your coin is real.

Thanks for the info, not sure if the first coin is silver or not.
