Great finds !!
The 2R is dated 1852; assayer 'GC'; minted in Mexico City
I can't make out the date of the 1/8R. The series ran between 1829 and 1835. You have the smaller of the two varieties. Copper 3.5g and 21 mm diameter. Again, Mexico City mint though the recorded total mintage is unknown.

the 1/8 copper coin has th 1835 date
Thanks Don

Have you ID-ed the coin to the right of the 2 R? Can we see a front and back of that coin? And if you do, can you rotate that coin 180 degrees for proper alignment--so the mintmark (small 'o' over capital "M") is on the left side of the coin.
Thanks,
Don....

The picture is here right now
The edge 1821 was the independence day of Mexico from España and this kind of coins were the last colonial spanish

The coin is a 1/4 real (2/4 'senal'); copper of 7 grams and a dia. of 28mm. (KM-64)
The series was minted between 1814 and 1821. For some forgotten reason, I call these coins "Hacienda coins" (pilones, tlacos and senales).

Edit: NGC places a value on it as $25 in VG-8; $90 in VF-20; and $240 in XF.
