These were on a necklace that my mother bought in Guatemala in the early 1980's. She no longer uses the necklace and gave the coins for my collection. Any idea as to what they are KM# and any other information? Thank you!

The small ones might look very similar in the photographs but there are a few differences under the magnifying glass. They're about 14mm in Diameter and the larger one is about 28mm. I'd guess they are 1/2 real and 4 reales. Where could I find more information on these in order to identify them better?
