I found one just like it many years ago, I think. I should date my finds. I started Detecting in the early 70's. But mine is Abraham Lincoln. Will try to send pic.

Other coin looks like a Roman soldier with spear. Where did you find it?

Thats the british figure "britannia".

I think you're right. The image of Brittannia first appeared on coins issued in Britain under the Roman emperor Hadrian. Britain, part of the Roman Empire, was at the time the edge of the "known" world. http://www.24carat.co.uk/brittannaframe.html

I looked at the TJ link that you left. I guess my brass Abe Lincoln is also a 011. It does look almost like a CC on the right shoulder. Why would a game piece have a mint mark? Your coin matches mine exactly. (except mine is Abe L.) Now I am interested. Do you know how old they are? Or any other information. What is an Indian peace medal? I could find no other info on your link, just a picture.

thats all I have found, is a picture I did see the shell game tokens on ebay but none match what I hace , you would think w/a mint mark we could find what company minted it ,,here is something else I found whitch still doesn't tell me much about the one I have sept that it could be the copper/bronze type,,,http://www.exonumia.com/fakes.htm,,,,have you found the amoco game pieces? do? they have the double c mint mark on them,,also on the first link w/all the pictures of tokens , some have info if you click the number under the picture,,the tj-012 says that it is a shell presidential game piece,,,it has a mint mark to the left of the shoulder,,does anyone know if the double c means cast copy,,,or commemorative copy??,,,,maybe it is a ,,o c or c o

I have a Jefferson token that is the same as yours, I've been looking for any info on it but as of yet, nothing but what you already know. If I find anything else, I'll post it here.
