  • The first is a political token that uses a reverse that was very popular. Not sure who got knocked out of power at that moment but here's a couple of links to similar medals from 1830 and 1837.

    The second is a commercial token that dates from around 1815. It circulated mostly in Canada but I'm sure others folks will have more info. Don't know a thing about the florin...

    mdccclix = 1859 for the Florin. It's a Gothic Florin, UK, Victoria - but I don't have a Krause number for it. Somebody better check me on the date. It's been a long time since I've used Roman numerals for anything image

    Haven't a clue as to value.

    auldfartte nailed the date on the florin - 1859.

    The value on it in that condition (fair, maybe aF) is about $20-$25.

    The 2nd one is a Canadian Colonial Token from Prince Edward Island.

    It looks like the no H mintmark, bar ampersand (&), short choppy uneven waves variety. Charlton catalogue # PE10-8, Lees 8.

    Condition appears to be Fine, value about $12 Canadian or $9US.
