The second one is a municipal trade token. There were a lot of different ones issued in the 70s and are pretty common. Your Pembroke dollar is listed in the Ontario pdf file on this site. Not sure about the first one.

Thanks a bunch, and also for the link

 

I found an auction for the other token/medallion as well

he says its a token, on another site it says its a Medallion

 

"<>. - CNJ : Vol. 12, no. 2 (Feb. 1967). - p. 44, 49. - history of an unusual medal composed of an alloy of platinum, gold, silver, copper, nickel, zinc and iron (the major minerals mined in Ontario) to commemorate Canada's centennial of confederation'

 

I finally know what those 2 are has been bugging me for some time

You're welcome. Sounds like a medal to me. Usually a token will have a value on it or a "good for" something. A medal will be commemorating something.

Thanks for the link, Spiny. Now I have to check eBay to buy the ones I lost years ago.
