A Euro style phone token

 

I have been asked to come up with some more information on this group of medals and medallions. I can read and research the words but I would appreciate any views on rarity, historical significance and in the end value for the lady who has lent them to me. So I have come to Cointalk - can you help?

Please ask if you need individual images of any of them. The largest is about 53mm in diameter.

 

Sorry @PaddyB but these are outside my area of expertise.

 

An update. I have managed to find some info on most of these (Numbering left to right, top to bottom):
1. Refers to to Louis 16th of France acknowledging the revolutionary constitution during the political manoeuvring that culminated in his execution, but I cannot find a mention of this medallion yet. It may be another Monnerons brothers token (See below).
2. This is a known token for attendance at the Siege of Paris in 1870.
3. Is from the A.E.C Gaultier educational institution. I have found similar dated 1818 but no direct match to this one.
4. This one I have found nothing on at all.
5. This is known as the Cockerell Medal and is well known, examples turning up fairly frequently at auction in the UK.
6. Is a French military "Morocco Medal" issued to troops serving there between 1907 and 1912. It is missing its clasp, ribbon and bar or bars.
7. Is a well known Monneron brothers token for 5 Sols issued during the revolution.

So any further info on 1 and 4 would be much appreciated!

 

Die-struck boxwood medal by Brunner

 

Hi PaddyB. Chris might be able to help. @cpm9ball

 

I checked my Mitchiner reference book on jetons and medalets, and I couldn't find anything on these.

12 step coin from local hospital

 

Had coin club last night and picked this up. The pickle says it all.

 

That's a good one, Eng. I've been in a pickle a few times in my life too. Unusual piece. Thanks for posting it.

This token shows a very famous New England landmark, the Old Man In The Mountain, a natural rock formation in the shape of and old guys face. Sort of. I had the chance to see it many times before the tragic day the Old Man could stand to the elements no more. Wind, ice, rain, and time took down this New Hampshire symbol, on May 3, 2003.

 

A souvenir of the opening of the downtown bank main building in 1971. The bank was swallowed by Chase years ago, what I find interesting is the helicopter above the bank!

 

Just a little sterling 925 silver state collectible. From my favorite state.

 

Here is a plastic grey tax token

Same both sides

 

Picked up this today - I assume it is a Jetton but I do not have the book so I don't know which one.

 

Looks cool Paddy!
