I bought a lot of these and these are the only two I haven't been able to figure out. The others were all Louis XIII and XIV.

I'm pretty sure the top one is this:

Who is that on the obverse? What is the date range for these?

The bottom one looks like one of these:

You can at least see Charles X on the obverse. I believe the date is 1594, but it's a little hard to make out for sure.

The first was issued by a French Feudal state, the Principality of Chateau-Regnault, and features the portrait of Francis (François) of Bourbon-Conti (1605-1614).

The second was struck at the Dijon mint (P) by Charles de Bourbon, a Cardinal of the Catholic church. The Catholic League supported him the rightful King of France (as Charles X) after the death of Henry III in 1589.

Awesome! I'll have to figure out how to identify the mints later, I just at least wanted to verify that I was on the right track before going into that level of detail. Thanks!
