The first one is this:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces13954.html
11th year (10 and 1, read right to left) which is 1936.
Second one is this:

1st year (元 Is 1 but only used for counting) which is 1989.
You can look at the listing for the 1 yen coin:

That lists the numbers in order.
Also this page might help in the future:

First, you might want to buy them flowers, or maybe ask them out for coffee. Next, turn on the charm, and see where the night leads you...
Sorry, I have to troll funny topic titles when I get the chance.

Oh, aha I get it.
The first one's really beautiful, though. Well, not as beautiful as my Japanese girlfriend, but it looks UNC.
And for Kemlo, the character 元 means "origin," and it's the "origin" of the Heisei calendar. It's not used in counting except calendars.
