Not certain but would suggest Victorinus for the coin on the left. It is not obvious though, Tetricus is also a possibility, as is it not being official - any idea what the reverse is?

No probs, might be impossible to pin it down to either Victorinus or Tetricus.

It looks a lot like both but not enough like either to be certain if that makes sense

Lots of unofficial or semi-official coins exist from the Gallic Empire so it could well be one of those. A huge amount of unofficial Tetricus coins were made.

I think the other coin is Claudius Gothicus.

The left hand coin does not look official.

The one on the right is DIVO CLAUDIO (unofficially issued) - probably flaming altar, an eagle if you're lucky (maybe something else if you're reeeally lucky).

The one on the right is Tetricus I. Stylistically misplaced for Victorinus and too short a legend too - that looks exactly like the barbaric Tetricii I come across in cleaning.
