Well the one on the left has two circles of lettering on reverse, and is either a groat or halfgroat, probably the latter given its size though it is quite clipped. London mint and probably Edward III. The pellets between the letters of TAS are interesting. The other looks to me a penny of Edward I/II, bifoliate crown. But I’ll leave more detail to others better informed.

I was just going to say…Ed III Halfgroat, the obverse congestion of devices the decider for me but, as said, it’s clipped.

The second is a class 10 Edward I Penny 1300-1310. This class merges with the coinage of Edward II (1307) a little bit, though numismatically his coinage is agreed to commence at class 11.

It's a half groat - two pence.

The one on the left, likely a half-groat, circulated for a very long time to get to that state.  And the earliest monarch it could be would be EIII as half groats were not minted before his reign.
