Top middle, this one is very similar, numerals differ -LINK, and an Ebay link.
The top right is a Costa Rican one real. Added- Ebay LINK, and a similar one that sold.
The top left is a Venetian denar (or soldino?) Added: Check here , or this one.
I don't know if this Link is of much help, but it is an example of the Canadian commerce token that you have pictured (two of them at the bottom of second pic). It's the only one I could find, but being that you have multiples of it, I doubt that it's as rare as this seller is suggesting.
The first colum, second from top- CANADIAN Half Penny Ship Token. A real nice one is on Ebay for $25....
I'll edit as I get more info. (Hope this helps at least a little)

The top left halfpenny token uses a Conder token obverse (SR. BEVOIS SOUTHAMPTON) with a NORTH * * WALES reverse die. I do not see this one documented as a Conder token but I believe that I have seen an example of this token before. I do not have my books with me here at work but I believe the reverse die was paired with a George Washington obverse for a quite rare token (ex: Norweb collection). The North Wales die may also have been used on other spurious imitation regal coinage.
The top right coin appears to be a GB halfpenny from 1834

I concur that the hammered silver coin at top left is, as mentioned, Venetian.
The 1822 1/16 dollar did, as mentioned, circulate in Canada, but you'll find it and the other "Anchor" coinage cataloged as KM#1 under British West Indies. They're semi-scarce, though in the case of the 1822, a VF goes for only $15 in the 4th edition Krause. I would call yours VF, personally, or a strong Fine at least.
I love the old tokens but find the one at the top left of the big group picture quite intriguing, because it looks like it says it's a NORTH WALES halfpenny? There are North Wales halfpennies listed in the US coin Redbook for some nice prices, but those look to have a bust of Washington on the obverse. Yours appears to have a different bust and so probably is not one of the ones with an American connotation, so it's probably not worth as much- I find it intriguing, nonetheless.
1st + 2nd photos
Top coin is an 1822 British West Indies 1/16 dollar (also known as Anchor money). These coins are collected as part of early Canadian sets because of the use in the Maritimes. This is the most common date VF value $15.
Bottom coin is a Model British Crown (counter/token/jeton). I sold a similar piece on eBay last year for about $4.
Far right looks like a Costa Rica piece.
