#1 appears to be a medal with the bust of King Louie XVIII issued by the Chamber of Commerce of Amiens.

The first one appears to have been minted in 1802 and is also indicating the revolutionary calendar.
At that time Napoleon became first Consul and France was still a Republic.
Interesting that this medal is facing Louis XVIII who was still in exile.

Can't say anything about the second medal, except that it looks much younger: around 1900, I would guess.
