I found two coins from an old Ahlstrom Auction 60 lots 201 and 203. Two coins labeled as Penning Magnus Ericson, but not known if Norway or Sweden, dated 1319-1363, on paper sleeve. Please help with identification. Thank you.

I believe the first one is a type which has three crowns forming a triangle, with a letter or symbol in the center (first photo) and a rampant lion on the other side (second photo).

Here are a couple of examples:

With P in center of crowns:  https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4525361

With U or D in center of crowns?  https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2500161

To me the first coin looks like lion facing left, and three crowns surrounding a thorn.

N#431029

 

The second coin looks to be a bracteat, lion facing left.

N#431009

 

I have rotated your pictures correctly to hopefully help.

Interrested in nordic numismatic history, and european history overall.

Always looking for damaged, holed or even unidentifyable coins.
