Hi,

First coin I have no idea, 2nd coin is Greek. I am not sure if second coin is a copy or replica as is in excellent condition.

I think your first coin may be a halfpenny token issued in Ireland. The character on the obverse appears to be Bishop Blaize AKA St Blaise, patron saint of the wool trade. I can't match up the reverse though. Weight and diameter would be useful.

I'm pretty sure the Thourioi double-nomos is a fake. Compare with this fake.

The first one is a somewhat clipped Irish halfpenny token, one of the "Cronebane mule" types. Intact, it would have looked more like this example.
