If you turn your first photo 90 degrees clockwise you might see a standing lion with paws extended.
Try looking at the Groschen of Bohemia.

Yes, well, it's a Bohemian Gross, the lion's tail and claws are unmistakable. Although it is very worn, could it be refined a little more?

Your second photo has to be turned 90 degrees counterclockwise. Then you see a rose symbol at 12 'o-clock. That is odd, for usually there appears to be a cross there. But this may help in pinpointing the type further. Also in correct position, the name of the ruler should start clockwise after 12 'o-clock in the inner ring. At first glance, that would seem best to fit "Wenceslaus", of which there were four it seems.
