@jade, I think that your second pic is upside down. With those crowned pairs of opposing letter Cs, I'm thinking Charles III, such as this 16th Century copper from Lorraine:

There is an interesting story to the single arrow through the three birds visible on the first pic. Here is a English translation from the cgb.fr website:

Quote:
The three baby eagles carried on the reverse find an old justification. At the end of the Middle Ages, people pretended to believe that the Dukes of Lorraine were descended from a brother of Godefroy de Bouillon, Guillaume. A legend has it that Godefroy, after having conquered Jerusalem, saw three baby eagles and pierced them all three with a single stroke of his bow.
