Your Upper Canada Bank token, coin #5, is the last known mintage of that specific token. Breton #219. Unfortunately, this year 1/2 penny has no known varieties, where all of the earlier years {'50, '52, '54} do. This is specific for coin #5. With my compliments to mmorgan for a good start~~~~~ Are you interested in Krause information? If you are, there's lots of members who can help out, but please let us know. It can take some time and staring to find them in such large catalogs,  , Oh, and

Coin 1 has two different coins pictured. The very first picture is from Belgium. It's a fifty cent or 1 Franc coin.

Krause is a publication that makes the Standard Catalog of World Coins 1901-2000, 1801-1900, etc. They make one catalog for pretty much every 100 years. You can usually find a used copy on ebay for pretty cheep.

General, re coin #1, are you referring to KM #50 or #51?
Myself, I clearly see Brittania facing correctly and accurately on KM#743 {Britain} reference, and there is the shield and helmet. And I see the bust as on KM# 747, et al.
However, I grant that the coin is very worn, and the legends of the coins pic.ed in Krause do not always show the legends clearly, but the designs show clearly enough, both with Krause and the coin {coin #1} in question of yours.
Essentially what I am granting is that I cannot clearly determine the denomination as a 1/3 farthing, or farthing.{ I believe the coin is a farthing, though, Krause #747, et al.}
I am stating that this is a british coin, from a general range of 1838-1901, depending on denomination. As I believe the coin is a farthing, the range would be instead 1860-1901.
I am not criticizing, merely stating how I view the coin, it's Krause reference and my opinion of the coin.
I do apologize if I have stated more than the coin may deserve, but it's origin is important, at least.

#1 is defiantly Belgium, We would need to see a pic of the back to tell what denomination.

Ah, okay, the pic. has changed since I saw and posted. I don't understand why, perhaps it was re-edited, I was seeing both sides of a British #747 at the original posting. That may be where the confusion is, coin #1 NOW is NOT the coin I saw when I posted.

No problem, I was getting concerned other members were wondering "what was that guy smoking" or some such. :) At least we gave you an idea of the first coin at your earlier post, it's all good. I enjoyed looking for it!!
