Please Help in Identification.

Best regards

The first is  Liard de Henri d'Albret,  Royaume de Navarre

Figleaf

The second is a Spanish or Southern Netherlands copper of Philip IV, overstruck on another coin. At one time, it was nailed to something.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Please, if possible, indicates metal size and weight for the second coin. Thanks

Figleaf

Actually, was hoping you would come up with metal size and weight. I can't figure out which parts of what I see belong to the host coin or to the overstrike. I have attached a picture of the sort of coin I had in mind. This is a schelling 1621-1663 struck in Brabant, Luxembourg, Flanders, Burgundy and Doornik/Tournoi.

silver coin, the obverse is not clear but I think that Figleaf is correct about the overstrike.
there are a few examples on ebay, here one of them

Many thanks for all the help.

Coin data
Metal: Silver
Weight: 4.2g
Size: 28mm

It's slightly below the official diameter (30 mm) and weight (about 5 grams), but in view of the wear, that is reasonable.
