If British tokens are Conder, are these Mustard tokens?

I doubt these are called "mustard tokens", but I'm sure someone here will set me straight

This LINK covers this time period but nothing on this particular token.

I would have to believe these are French. Would that make them jetons?

Yes it appears to be French, jeton might be the proper term unless it is only used for tokens of a particular period. I don't know if that is true or not. Conder is only used for British tokens of the 1787 - (roughly) 1800 period. Earlier or later pieces are known by different names.

<< <i>Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man

His sister Shirley works in a shop
She never stops, she's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
It's the only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
You such a dirty old man
You such a dirty old man

Hey, mean Mister Mustard, such a dirty dirty
Mean Mister Mustard, such a dirty dirty
Mean Mister Mustard, such a dirty dirty man

Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man >>

Leave it up to LM to bring up a fairly obscure Beatles song.

It's stuck in my head, now.

I've seen both of these before, but I can't tell you anything about them. What size are they?

Don't know what they're called, but the squirrels running up the inside of the inner circle is a nice touch on the first one...
