Coin 1: Tricky. The "obverse" is St Stephen, with the legend S STEPHA(N) PROT H M, but there's very little geographic information I can extract from that piece. St Stephen was (a) patron saint of Hungary, which may be what the "H" stands for, but I'm guessing. The reverse identifies the denomination "GROSSVS" = groat or groschen, and METH is likely to be the abbreviation for the city/mint of issue.

Coin 2: Yup, it's another German State coin. This one's Electoral Saxony, a 1/12th thaler of Elector Johann Georg IV (1691-1694), KM# 638, EPH (mintmark for Leipzig), CV $32 in VF.
