@notabagel, better pics would make this significantly easier, but your first coin (labelled #2) is a 1 cent from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Date is 1883 I think

@notabagel, sorry I forgot to welcome you to CCF previously.

There is a whole section elsewhere on the site that is devoted to numismatic picture-taking. I suggest lurking there a little to pick up some tips. If your camera pics were in focus and cropped, they would be fine. Maybe not good enough to put into a magazine, but certainly fine for the purpose of determining an attribution.

For your Dutch coin, I think that my first thought was right.

The first coin (labeled #2) is indeed a (beaten up) 1 cent from the Kingdom of the Netherlands from 1883.

The second coin (labeled #1) is an Austro-Hungarian 2 Heller coin from 1894.
