Your first coin should be turned 90° clockWise. I think it is Yehochanan, Johannes Hyrcanus I.
Best regards
It is possible this is a coin of
Hyrcanus, since the name seems to fit and the letter on the top row at the far left could be a het. However, I am
still inclined to believe this is a coin of
Jannaeus.
If we were to read the name as יהוחנן, we could interpret the letter
from the second line to be a kaf for "kohen", but then we would not have enough room to fit all of כהן גדל properly (note that the leftmost letters on the second line are unambiguously דל-). One letter (ה,נ,ג) would need to be removed.
It appears at first glance that there are only four letters on the first line, making the reading YNTN difficult. However, it may be that the form to the left of the yud is in fact two letters: nun and tav. This would leave enough room for all of ינתן. The leftmost letter would thus be a he which is what it appears like to me.
Given this reading, we would need to interpret the
on the second line to be a nun (from כהן), which is acceptable. It also leaves enough room for the rest of גדל.
Last, it is typical of
Jannaeus coins of this
style to display a sideways het,
as is present on this coin. This phenomenon is not exhibited on
Hyrcanus coins, as far as I can tell.
