Yep, the second one is Parthian. I'm still nor sure about the first one. It's clearly quite thin, and uniface. I think it's German, or possibly early Scandinavian (Viking).

Hmmm... I thought that the second one is Parthian, but thanks :) About first, somebody suggested me that this coin might be from Byzantium, but it might be also German, or Scandinavian.

I was thinking maybe a late Byzantine scyphate, too, but it looked too thin. I'm still Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

It is to worse to see. Is it hollow, than it is an early Bulgarian kingdom-coin about 600 AD.

valutarick, what do you mean saying "hollow"? You think about specific type of coins like this Byzantine one, or something else? My coin is very thin and concave.

The scan You send to me as Byzantine one is exactly what I had in mind. Thin is a sign for the Bulgarian Kingdom of the sixth century, which coins are crude copies of Manuel I Comenius Byzantine ones. Patina of the first scan you made indicate Bulgarian soil.
