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 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).
