Please help identificate these two, possible Indian princely coins?

1. Copper, diameter 16.2mm, weight 9.3 gr and 5.8 mm thick.

2. Copper, diameter 14.0, weight 3.3 gr, 2.7 mm thick.

Thanks in advance

The second is a bull-and-horseman jital (judging from the position you photographed them in you know as much). THCoins is an encyclopedia on legs of those, but even he must have enough clues of the characters around.

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

I think the first one is a falus of one of the Sultanates, possibly Sultans of Gujarat, based on the weight and general appearance, though I didn't find a match in a quick look through Zeno and GG.
Here's an example with a distinctive character similar to one on your coin, though far from a match overall.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable in this area will be able to identify your coin.

Could first one be that Sikandar Shah Lodi, BI Tanka from Sultanate of Delhi?

Rightone look similar, but leftish not so much.

Anybody, who can read anything out from coin?

Thanks,

Yes, I agree. Good ID, Rasmus and Saikat. The side shown in the first photo of the coin in question (and left photo in Zeno) is struck significantly higher on the flan than the example on Zeno.
