Welcome to Numista!

The better pictures are helpful. Weights to the nearest tenth of a gram would greatly help identification. It is best to simply state the dimensions rather than put coins on a millimeter scale or show a modern coin for comparison, making the reader figure out the dimensions. It looks like the first coin has a diameter of about 21 mm and the second one is about 14 mm across. If weights are provided the Zeno database could be searched. It is possible that without this information you might get lucky and someone might recognize or be able to read the coins, but it reduces the number of people able to ID the coins for you.

First coin is from IPS Bhopal. 

The second coin is from IPS Bhalwalpur.

Following the lead provided by Parimal, the second one looks similar to

a paisa of Sadiq Muhammad Khan IV, KM Y2.1, date off flan, but made about 1899-1909

 

Looking at Krause, it might also be KM Y 2.2 or Y 6, which also appear rather similar
