More help for old Indian state coins

These 2 are heavy 16-18 grams

any idea?
To be able to use databases to assist with identification, all ID requests need to include weights to the nearest tenth of a gram and maximum diameters to the nearest millimeter for each coin, in addition to clear cropped photos of both sides.
both 17.4 grams, hard to say the diameter
The weight helps. If you have a ruler or tape measure you can measure the maximum diameter.
The irregular shapes suggest copper dams from the Elichpur mint, but I don't know which Mughal emperor. Here are a couple of examples from Zeno for comparison, but I don't see a match there. Maybe another member can help.

the max diameter is 24 mm

Yes, congratulations, that does look like a match for the right-hand coin.
