The first looks like a Grosso of Ivan Alexander and Mihail Asen IV (Second Bulgarian Kingdom, 1331-1355)

Thanks so much that's exactly it for both. This is so much easier than trying to search online.

Thanks again my friends :)

"Searching online" is easy when there's text you can type in to Google. Neither of these coins have text, at least not text that an English-speaker would recognize as such (they both have a few non-English letters on them, but you pretty much already need to know what the coins are before you can read it). Apps like Coinoscope might help, they're great for modern coins but for ancient and mediaeval coins like these, there's simply too much variablity in design and shape for the AI behind them to be reliable.

Sap its funny you mention this because just yesterday I downloaded the app.

Completely agree about the language and variables, I have so many ancient coins that I bought with another Canadian collection and I have no idea what to do with it.

Personally never had an interest in ancient coins, although they're super interesting.

The search continues...thanks so much for the info
