I got a bunch of older pieces today and can't figure some of them out. Could anyone give me a hand?

#1...this one is about 15-16mm and appears to be silver. It looks like it has been struck twice.

#2...this piece is toned and I can't tell it's composition. It's about 15mm in diameter. The design on one side appears to be struck off center, but there is another rim with two dots/pellets outside of what appears to be the original rim design.
