I recently found 2 coins that seem to be very old. As I know nothing about old coins, or identifying them, I figured I'd let you guys help me. :)
There are two coins. One of them was definitely hammered into shape. (it's not uniform and you can see where they hammered the design into the metal. I'm not sure about the other one. Here's some pictures of each coin.
Coin 1: This one is in a lot better condition. You can even read some of the letters. Here's that one.

If you need a picture of something specific on the coin let me know. I can probably give you more info on them. I'm just not sure what you need to help me identify it. Like I said, I know nothing about coins. Thanks.
EDIT: Coin #2 depicts a person holding a scepter, with what appears to be some sort of animal behind him. Looks like a dog perhaps?
EDIT #2: I found someone online that said coin #1 could possibly depict Macrinus and his son Diadumenian, making it a Roman coin.
EDIT #3: Ok, I found out a little bit more about coin #2. The animal it depicts is a bull. I could see the horns after looking with a magnifying glass. Also, I can see now that there is a female figure on one side, and a male one on the other. The male's head is obscured, but the female is wearing a helmet similar to this one.
