A load of medals and tokens I got recently..

(This is a cross-post)
I received recently a quite lovely job-lot of mainly full of weird looking tokens and medals which are hard to identify/value. Here are the most interesting ones, the rest I didn't photograph were not really worth it, so I will just sell those on ebay as junk.

First off, what on earth is this?! It dates from 1963, obviously some sort of Scandinavian Commemorative...





A medal from the British Empire exposition 1924.





A completely befuddling token which is the same on both sides, it has a with a coin orientation.





An Elizabeth II Coronation piece..





Christian V of Norway - date?? (Interesting three lions emblem too)





An arabic coin? Islamic year 1271...





Duckhams Medal, Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee (1977) - "Duckhams: Specialists in Lubrication"





Another Arabic medal for the experts?...





Pierced medal for the Coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. Made for Newcastle Upon Tyne in the name of Mayor Henry W. Newton. The reverse features George and (Queen) Mary in profile.





Now moving on, George V and wife Alexandra...





And last but not least, a Conder!
Halfpenny for Worcester date 1811 (I think). This token is fairly rusty!

Well, I can tell you the small bronze coin with the star, and the AH1271 date is a Moroccan coin, called a falus.  It isn't a token or a medal.  Krause can tell you more about them if you've got one.  Or I can, once I wake up.

Below it a bit, above the British coronation medals of Edward and the Georges, that arabic token I would say looks like from Oman.  That symbol with the crossed swords, the chain across the front, and the spreading leaves just looks like coins from that country.

Hi Elle, thanks for the help - sap on CC said the one with the Crossed daggers is Omani because it's their emblem. He didn't mention that the "1271" was bronze or Moroccan, or called a 'falus'...all  very fascinating!
Don't worry about looking them up in Krause, I don't have one yet but I don't think they're worth a fortune, I got them at a good value anyway
Just love receiving these intriguing little pieces of metal..

Excellent!  A little more about your coin.

Morocco, Falus,
Obverse:   Seal of Solomon
Reverse:   Mint Name
Type/denomination:   Bronze / Falus
Diameter:   19.3 millimeters
Weight:   4.43 grams


Description   Modern machine - made coins were only introduced in Morocco in 1882. Before this, most coins were crudely cast bronze coins in "Falus" denominations, or hammered silver Dirhams and gold Benuqis. The weights of all denominations were variable, and there were no fixed exchange rates between gold silver and bronze coins.
