Just picked up these two unidentified beauties from a English detectorist.
Both about the size of an English silver penny. (20mm)

The first looks to be a crusader. coin (with the bust and cross.)
The second looks to be British. (with the shield and cross with three dots in each corner.)

Any help would be much appreciated!

They are nice looking hammered. Hard to believe they are UK detecting 'finds' but it maybe possible.

The first, looks like a Crusader coin, some kind of Denar. Maybe out of Antioch??
The second is not British but some kind of European hammered - this will narrow it for the researchers. (Not British)

Good call. :notworthy: That reverse legend is hard to read, but it is indeed TOLLETA. The obv is a little easier.
