Need some help with ID's on an old copper and a token

Both of these are rough but hopefully there is enough that someone could at least give me an era. On the coin, you can just make out the outline of a bust and there are only little traces of lettering, not enough to help me figure it out. The coin is very thin and measures about 27mm. On the token, it looks like it has Kre_zer?, and then I believe it is 185_ (8?). I have only hunted about 3 times this year, also found an 1837 LC, 1860 Fatty IHP, 1892 Barber dime, and a few other IHP's. Too much work and I also took a couple weeks to hunt Brown Bear in Alaska. Now that the crops are in, I will be lucky to get out just a few more times this year. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thanks so much IP!!! I wasn't sure it I could get an id on either of these and you nailed them both. The site where I found the King George is an old site that doesn't give up much and I wasn't even sure it was a coin before I started cleaning it. Thanks again!

Digging Georgies is pretty good for MI. An online friend of mine used to do well hunting along the Detroit river. Lots of both relics are coins.
