I believe that is the Greek God Hermes in the first picture. I can't find anything on this. It may be a metal or a token.

Looks like a caduceus medical symbol in the lower right of bust.

It's an anonymous halfpenny token of British origin, struck by the British Copper Company based in Walthamstow, Essex in the early 1800s for local or colonial (Canadian) use. Listed in "The Token Book" (by Spink) as Withers #630 to #633, valued at 5 pounds in (British) Fine condition.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
