Does anyone recognize these tokens? I just received them in a lot and cannot seem to find any info on them. Thanks in advance.

    1. "San Jose de Avino" is a historic town in Durango state, Mexico. I'm guessing htis is one of the class of objects known as "hacienda tokens".

    2. Natural Bridge is a "natural arch" stone formation in Virginia. This is presumably a tourist souvenir medal (not a token) sold to visitors of the park within which the bridge can be found, or possibly sold in the nearby town of the same name. The other option is that it's part of a larger series of medals issued for American parks or natural monuments.

    The Mexican token is listed in Grove's "Tokens of Mexico" as #1742. I didn't find it in Rulau.
