Very nice, well done!

The little one is a Henry VIII halfpenny, Spink 2356.

First short cross is York mint but the moneyer is not legible. The monarch is probably Richard I, class 4b.

There's nothing else that has this style of crown and the spiky hair than a Henry VIII halfpenny Spink 2356. Some more here:

Thanks doc any ideas on the second short cross  ;D ?

The second short cross is a rather scarce one.

It's John, class 5b2, but the unusual thing about it is the mint which is Rochester.

The moneyer is Alisandre and the reverse reads ALISANDR ON RO
