I have picked up an entire collection of world coins from a man who decided to specialize on antique coins. I have managed to place most of them, but these I am having a hard time with. I am reasonably sure they are both Indian, but I have no idea about age, denomination or value. Any help with any of these variables will be appreciated.

Note that the first coin is very thick, more than 5 mms. The second is also thick but not as much. I have three pictures for each.

#2 looks to be a Billon Tanka of Firuz Shah Tughluq(1351-1388). GG#476, date not visible, but issued AH784-790.

Many thanks, DCH! Do you have any opinion as to value? I do not suppose this will cement my retirement fund, but it would be fun to know what it is worth. This is a type of coin I would never buy on its own so I know very little about the market for them.
