Coin 1 looks like a tetradrachm of Tyre
Coin number 2 is Contantius I ( Constantine's dad)

The tets of Tyre are often faked and, sorry to say, your coin seems to be a match for a known, published cast fake. Lots of matching devices:  Edited by Kamnaskires

Thanks for the quick replies. I was having trouble figuring out the date listed above the club on that coin and now that you're saying it's likely a fake it makes sense.
Still not sure about the 2nd coin though.

 to the community. The first is as others have said a fake of a Tyre Shekel. Here is a real one.   |

Agree with the other posters. A better picture of the Roman coin would allowa clear attribution. To Quote:
