What country are these coins from?

Both coins are silver. One is from 1912, and has 'Ferencz Jozsef I-K-A-CS-ES M-H-S-D-D-AP-KIR-' inscribed on the front with someone wearing a crown of leaves. The back has two angels holding a crown, with '2 KORONA' and what looks like wheat underneath. The other, from 1925, is in cyrillic. It reads, 'АЛУКСАНДАР I.КРАЪ СРБА ХРВАТА И СЛОВЕНАЦА', with a man's head. The back has a crown at the top, followed by '1 ДИНАР (dinar)', with two branches, one of what looks like holly and another that I don't know.

Oooh, a numismatical mystery! This is one with a VERY COOL conclusion.

The first is an Austro-Hungarian coin of Ferencz Joszef I of Austria, Emperor of Austria and Apostolic King of Hungary. This is an interesting coin in that there were two mintings of it (ie, two differentiated backs), one for Austria, one for Hungary.

The second is intriguing. The Cyrillic transliteration is roughly (since I'm no expert):
"Aluksandar I. Krav Srba Hrvata i Slovenatsa"

There was an Alexandar 1st, King of Serbia, Croatia (Hrvatsa) and Slovenia while this monarchy existed - and it only existed between the two World Wars, after which it became Yugoslavia. Moreover, King Alexandar I was the second of three kings in this short-lived state, and was assassinated in 1934.

This means that the coins you possess are quite rare! Place them in protective casings and take them to a coin dealer for an appraisal.
