The larger. Diameter 21 mm approx, weight 3g. letters left to right.

Top centre looks like an X but it isn't, a star shape each side.
Reverse has a shield, crown on top, two wavy lines in lower part. Some lettering to lower oft of shield-four letters ? all worn.

Smaller. Diameter 11mm approx weight under 1g. Large letters BWS in centre, date 1664 to left, INV ? to right. Reverse * WILLIAM BOV or Y around rim, three somethings in the middle.

Any ideas for either with very much appreciated.

The little one is a 17th century English tradesman's token, issued in a time of shortage of regal small change. WILLIAM BOYCE / IN VPWELL, featuring the Tallowchandlers' arms.
