Both look too modern. I'll say they are both fakes.

Although the top picture is upside down the primitive design (mint mark) is that of a Chinese coin minted during the 4th century BC in the city of Yuan.This type of round coin with round hole is very rare and would have an approximate diameter of 42mm and weigh about 10g. Yours may well be a more modern replica.

The writing is off for an original of the first coin. The second is a charm, and, I would guess, both are modern. You could see if the patina on the first one will come off with a fingernail.
