@1972, first welcome to CCF! Second, your first coin is a Teston of Francis I and was made between 1515 and 1540 AD. The closest match for an attribution appears to be Roberts 2453 ("crown on hat" style). Interestingly, Francis I has dozens of different portraits on his coins, with many small differences in hair length, +/- beard, and crown style. Maybe someone else here can confirm my attribution.
