I will let the other members weigh in here, but I don't think either one is a coin. The one on the left doesn't have any identifying markings... no denomination or language of any kind. One on the right is on negative relief--probably a seal or something similar.

Both I think are ½ Kasu (missed the weights given above earlier :))
Both are coins issued by the Indian state of Mysore as stated by Petrus, Krause has them dated c.1750
