Both the coins belong to the Princely state of Gwalior. First coin is a "quarter anna" of Madhav Rao. Second one is a "Paisa" issued by Jayaji Rao (1843-86.AD)

And just in case it wasn't quite clear, the dates drnsreedhar gave are in the Indian Vikramasamvat calendar; subtract 56 to give approximate AD dates (AD 1918 and 1870 respectively).
