The copper coin looks like this listing from eBay. That eBay listing is an 1822-D 1/8th (one-eighth, or a small fraction) of a Real.
And another one:

I'm having trouble finding anything more on the copper 1/8th Real coin.
Edit: found a reference in wikipedia that says the reverse should have the Mexican eagle on it. BUT this doesn't match the eBay listings.

Your coin is a War of Independence, Royalist Issue from a series minted between 1821 and 1823.
The '1' in 1/8th has been replaced with a 'dot'; this is normal.
The crowned coat of arms is that of Nueva Vizcaya.
The reverse will read: DE LA PROIVINCIA DE NUEVA VIZCAYA (DATE).
The diameter should be 17mm.
