Anyone ever see any of these tokens/coins?

The first one appears to have a profile of a man with a crown on his head. The opposite side has a shield on it but I can't make out any of the markings.
The second one has a flag on the front and the words "The Flag of our Union 1863". On the back I can make out some of the words. They read "if anybody attempts to tear it down" Both coins/tokens are the size of a penny. Any information appreciated. Dave in Penna.
 
Those along with Civil War Store Cards total 11,000 varieties. Store Cards and Patriotic tokens are always a nice find no matter what the shape.:clapping:

Any of the Standard Catalog of United States Tokens by Russell Rulau shows all the different obverses and reverses used with both the Patriotic tokens and Store Cards. The Store Cards will be listed by state and city of all the merchants that produced them. Also listed will be values.(at the time of the catalog printing) Patriotic tokens will list obverse and reverse combinations.
There are other publications available as well as web sites about the tokens. You can spend a lifetime collecting CW Tokens, let alone Hard Times, Trade and all the others.
