Canadian Tokens?

[VancouverSilver]

I found these two coins while going through a huge collection I have inherited. Does anyone know any additional background on what these are and what they may be worth? More importantly, is it worth anything to any of you?

These are Province of Canada, semi-regal tokens.... in this case, Front View Tokens. They were made in 1842, 44, & 45. There are a number of vareieties, depending on how tall the trees are to the side and whether the beaver has a long or short nose. There are very similar tokens with "City Bank" on the ribbon instead of Bank of Montreal. Your half penny looks to be a long-nose, but it's hard to tell from the scan/wear. The penny is short nose, I think. Your half penny looks to be medium trees, while the penny is short trees. Both are common in this grade, with the half penny worth about $15 in F condition and the penny worth about $10 .. those are full-retail, book prices.
