@yellow, best is to post these separately so that we can more easily find them later when we search on keywords, but I can get things started. That middle piece is an Irish Token. Here is a link to a similar piece: http://auction.tokencatalog.com/auc...on_id=141529"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Your first coin is a cast copy of a Sasanian drachm.

I know nothing about these coins, but I would like to know and point out if anyone else happened to notice that the 3 was punched over a 2 on the 1813 one penny token? At least that is what it looks like from the picture of the reverse. I could be wrong though because this is the first time I seen one of these coins.

The third one is a commemorative medal, commemorating the wedding of Ferdinand, prince of Asturias, who later became king Ferdinand VII of Spain, with Elisabeth of Braganza and Parma

The middle item is a copper 1d token issued by Gerald Irvine, of Strabane, County Tyrone, Ireland. Irvine is listed as a "merchant" in an 1816 directory.
This token was issued in 1812 and 1813. The 1813 piece did have a 3 over the 2 as shown here, presumably a reworked die to save money.

Awesome info from all.
Coin #1 I was able to find a little more info and have ID'd as Sasanian Empire - King Zamasp A.D. 498 to A.D. 501 - Sassanid Coin /Seal. Currently analyzing coin to confirm status as a copy. This being done solely per the request of the coin's owner (ego) not because I disagree with or question the expertise of the poster. This will be put to rest Tuesday by "science". ;-)
Coin #2. Done. Thank you all.
Coin #3. Done, accept for a tiny loose end. That loose end being the composition of the medal. 50% say copper; 50% say bronze. This will be put to rest Tuesday by "science". ;-)
No additional assistance is required. Once again I thank you all for lending your time and expertise.
