Last night I was searching through my desk looking for some staples and stumbled on these odd looking coins or tokens that I must have bought decades ago.They are without doubt British, and picture a "young head" portrait of Queen Victoria, and the two tiny ones are dated 1848. One has what appears to be a planchet chip. The 1st and 2nd ones have traces of silver gilt. See the photos below. Any help would be appreciated.
I have seen these a couple of times online: https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=13124 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1844_Victoria_One_Penny_Model https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19751.html I've never known anyone who has one though. Very cool! As for the 1/8th farthing, I'm not sure if that is a legit clip or not. I've never seen any of these in person.

Here is your 1st token https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19751.html I can't find the other 2 on Numista, but here is a little info on Model Farthings https://aboutfarthings.co.uk/Model Farthings.html
Thanks alurid . There was an outpouring of help from CT members on this thread. furryfrog02 supplied a link on the penny with a good photo along with a value estimate.
I've posted these references before when questions on the model pennies came up. The pages are from Unusual World Coins by Krause. I'm sorry that the pages aren't clearer, but they are very old photos of the pages. But the pages can be exploded so that they are clear ... just click on the page when a mag glass shows. The prices are from an at-least 15 year old Krause book.
