Draped, cuirassed, your first coin: BMC 806-7, maybe also 805, pl. 70.1, described as draped only, but could actually be draped, cuirassed.

Just cuirassed, your second coin: BMC 805 note, citing Cohen 972 (Paris).

A nice pair from the short final year of Marcus' reign!

Two very nice looking coins and very interesting. For my own tastes the cuirassed bust has the edge.
