In view of the silence, it may be a bit too far gone for identification. It is, however, a good coin to practice cleaning on. See the board "Cleaning, conservation and storage", in particular

The Kushan coin will be easier to curate than the Sassanian, because it is copper, while the Sassanian coin is low grade silver. I recommend Bruce's double soda solution for the Kushan coin. See

First coin is Kushano-Sassanian, a tributary state in modern Afghanistan, although directly administered by the imperial Sassanians on a few occasions. I think it is Hormazd I:

The extra wide fire altar is diagnostic; Imperial Sassanian coins never depict it so squat with a wide bowl.
