Thanks for the welcome, Aidan.  : )

Mine are photos of only one token.

The ones that show the toning lit up were taken with axial lighting, which simulates tilting a coin toward the light.
Axial lighting does a good job of emphasizing the natural toning.
I have collected U.S coins for many years, and then Civil War Tokens, but am now actively building a collection of Conder Tokens,
the coins that made the Industrial Revolution a whopping success. : )

Nice coins 'Filthybroke'.  Here is a large coin from my collection. This is a 10 Kopek coin from Siberia 1780. It had been cleaned by one of the previous owners, and thus much of the patina had been removed. Otherwise, most of the details are visible. It measures 46 mm in diameter and 5 mm thick.

On the vane of Charles I medallions, this one was created by Nicolas Briot in 1633 and handed out by the King during his Scottish coronation in Edinburgh.  The King himself had a gold example which he carried in his pocket until he was executed.

Welcome aboard,David!

That's a very nice medal that you've got there.

You can find a couple of groups in relation to British Commonwealth traders' currency token on www.coinnetwork.com/groups/ .

Eventually,I will be getting my collection scanned & photos uploaded onto www.tantaluscoins.com .

Aidan.

Going to the auction block sometime soon, after I bought it my wife wanted me to sell it, but now it really must go to fund my other "hobby - interests":



And this is my oldest ever circulation find, when I was in the USA last year:

David,
  Is the American 1799 coin a 1/2 Dollar?

That's quite a nice coin you have got there.

Aidan.
