scan 0007 is a dutch east india company (vereenigte oost indische company) (spellcheck?) coin. I've got one from 1787.

East India Company?! If that's legit, I'll bet it's valuable. They set up the first 13 colonies in the US.

The first tokens have the same shields, and say "Stadutrecht 1711".

At <a href="http://www.cointalk.org/archive/index.php/t-2669.html">here</a> it talks about Utrecht being a separate state near Spain ca 1579. <a href="http://128.192.145.172/dan51.html">Here</a> is a coin from the city of Utrecht ca1744. Look at image #182. Very similar to your coin.

According to my book the coat of arms is either Utrecht (Holland) or Zurich (Switzerland) the only diff in the coat of arms being Utrecht lower quadrant is blue and Zurich red, can'tt tell obviously from the coin, but Utrecht ties in better with the Dutch East India Co. Good find

On a coat of arms the colors are very important so you can't generalize and say ,"It was just like this except the colors were different". To different clans the colors represent something such as honor, pride, etc. Just a bit of info. JIM

The "VOC" 1755 "Dutch Duit" coin is also known as a "New York Penny" and are around $10 to $15,
they were used in the colonies before we minted our own money.

The other piece I believe is a Dutch "Hard times token" of sorts, probably used in the area from where it was struck. Value - $15 to $30

The medal, I have no clue other than it seems to be Swedish??

Cool finds!
