Nice finds Bob. On the cut half reverse I can make out the letters ...RI ON.... The letter before the R is probably an N, so the moneyer is Henri. This makes the mint London, Canterbury, Winchester or Oxford. The start of the next letter looks curved, so probably it's Canterbury. This would make it anywhere between Class 6b2 and 7c, so very late John or more likely Henry III.

The last coin or token with the cross looks interesting - anything on the back?

Thanks for the above.

The last item is pretty smooth on the back. The markings are pretty crude and it has an 'iron age' feel to
it. Try looking turning it around as I don't know which is the correct way up. When I look at it one way it look
like a bloke holding a sword or something in his/her right hand.

Interesting. possibly a very early token?
