Your first one is copying Constantine I from Arles, [P]ARL with S-F across field. The second coin is hard to see what they were copying...maybe a botched Arles mintmark with PAT...maybe Trier with reversed letters P R (clumsily engraved) T instead of PTR...or an attempt at a Ticinum-- lots of Ticinum with dots in top row.

Thanks for the input! That first one is copying Arles makes sense.
