They look like ancients to me. Probably imitations. The silver piece is 2.88g x 16.5mm; the bronze (copper) piece is 0.99g x 13.5mm. Thanks in advance.

They are fake coins. Judean (left) and Mark Antony legionary denarius (right, second image upside down).
They look modern to me.

Actually, it's better to say they are replicas, because they aren't meant to trick anyone. Here you can buy a 'widow's mite' copy https://coinreplicas.com/product/widows-mite-ancient-coinage-of-judaea-coponius-bronze-prutah-6-a-d/
