Not aussie, looks like a female head , the only female on Aussie coins is Lizzy and she faces the other way.

Hmm, I don't think the second one is a Commonwealth coin.
Female left facing would be Victoria, and that does not look like any of the three bust's of her.
Don't know about the first one.

Denticles came from an Indian minted Australian penny or halfpenny (although seems more worn than pretty much any example I've ever seen) so either that's where it is from or it's another countries currency or even a token.

Looks very much like the same Victoria we would see on 1855-1856 Sovereigns, so I'd be saying a British copper of those times.  As for the beads...hmm...no idea, doesn't look like a farthing, or the half or penny. That's all the help I can give. So all up: Top looks 1942 Indian Die Middle looks just like an Aussie die that hasn't been pressed completely or a slightly faulty planchet Bottom is Victoria of the 1850's |

I think the one with Queen Victoria could be East India or Straits Settlements. Maybe.
