I found these on a old farm oldest coin found was 1827 newest coin found was 1865 if that helps with a possible time range. I also found a civil war infantry officer's button if that helps for possible context. The folded coin or medal is 34.5-35.2mm wide and is 1.5mm in thickness and weighs 8.92g. It has what appears to be a hint a female facing right? On the fold looks like ing in almost a cursive, or 63 in italic?

The large green medal or coin is 24.7g and is 35.2-35.4mm in width and is 3mm thick. In terms of scope the coin in the photo of the large green medal/coin is a large cent. There aren't even hints of a design to the large green medal/coin.

(The 3rd, 4th, and 5th photo rotated for some reason)
Thank you for looking!

Most likely wrong but the big green coin could be an upper bank of Canada token. I know they are pretty big

Great pics and description of your finds from the site Alex, I wish every Tnet member provided this much background info when they asked a question in the What Is It Forum. :occasion14:

Unfortunately, I can't help you with the folded coin/token, but as nkellam suggested, the large coin may be an 'Upper Canada One Penny Token', but I feel it's too thick to be that.
I find a lot of those 1850-58 coins in One Penny and Halfpenny denominations here in Ontario. :thumbsup:

Based on the thickness and size of the coin, I'm thinking it may be a heavily worn 1797 British One Penny ‘Cartwheel’ Token. :icon_scratch:

I dug an 1806 British Penny once and it was a monster! Way bigger than a large cent.
