Can you identify these coins? [solved]

I recently bought a collection of coins and exonumia and I need help identifying these four. The collection included coins from Spain in the 1870-80s, United Kingdom farthings 1939-1954, coins from Taiwan, Japan, and China, and United States tax tokens.

 

The first one I think is some sort of token. I had a token in the same collection that I bought that was a game token from the United States. It has some strange text on it that I can't tell if it is part of the token or not. It reads CASH OR TRADE VALUE — TOKEN ---. On the other side there is more text reading TOKEN AW-  FOR SKILL. There is also a large R in the middle on both sides. It is around 20 mm diameter and weighs 4.440 g.

The second one I am not sure. The outline of the bust is visible along with the letters -CA and D- and I can't quite read the date. The reverse I can't read anything. It's diameter is around 19 mm and it weighs 2.591 g.

The third one I can't read anything but on the obverse I can see a bit of the bust and on the reverse some sort of Eagle or bird. It's diameter is around 25 mm and it weighs 4.344 g.

This one the closest one I could find was this one but the symbol on the top is different. I believe it is the same denomination of coin from the Empire of China but not sure. It's diameter is around 17 mm and it weighs 1.068 g.

N#22475

Any information you can share would be much appreciated. I have been researching these for hours now and haven't found any other information.

2. Guessing the CA is the end of REPUBLICA lettering.

 Yes, that later reply gave REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA lettering - 

'the reverse I can't read anything' does actually show the II letters 

for the 2 Centavos. Still not sure of the date, maybe 1921 perhaps?

The imprint on the first coin is pretty much the same as this token: N#316230

 

There is also another set of marks on both sides: PP.

 

 Agreed - same imprint. I made this > 

 

 

THIS TOKEN HAS NO CASH OR TRADE VALUE // THIS TOKEN AWARDED FOR SKILL
