Not to be a smarty pants but they look fake to me. Hope I'm wrong if you bought them.

They just look too perfectly worn and perfect misshaped edges to appear reale. If you'll pardon the pun.

Both are modern cast replicas of Spanish colonial cob-style reales system coinage (both imitate Potosi mint pieces... different eras). The 2nd shown - the 1753 4 Reales - in particular is very commonly included in replica sets. Don't recognize the other off-hand, but it is clearly a modern cast repro.
