2. weight 7.67g, diameter ~17mm widest, bust facing right,
standing person facing left reverse. is this coin silver

The top coin looks like pegasus, but could really do with larger pictures.

Pegasus is a popular design on Greek coins, If you got these in Sicily it's possible that the first coin is from Syracuse. I have no idea about the other one though.

does anyone think the 1st one could be a more worn version of something
similar to the one linked? or is the bust too worn for an educated guess?

edit: a better example of what I'm thinking it could be?
