Ciao a tutti,
Spero di non infrangere alcuna regola (ho letto rapidamente le regole prima di pubblicare). Sono un collezionista di monete, valuta, token, medaglie e altro da tutto il mondo. Ho fatto un po ‘di informazioni su questi due pezzi svedesi, ma mi piace anche chiedere alle persone della nazione/cultura di provare a saperne di più.
Il primo pezzo sembra una sorta di medaglia agricola basata sul design da un lato, ma Google Translates lo traduce letteralmente come un servizio domestico. Sembra che potrebbe esserci stata una chiusura o una barra da un lato.
Il secondo è un token di trasporto per una nave a vapore, ma se qualcuno può fornire alcuni dettagli di fondo più profondi che sarebbe sorprendente. È vuoto dall’altra parte, motivo per cui non ho fatto una foto.
Grazie per aver dedicato del tempo per leggerlo almeno!

The actual translation is closer to Husbandry-association, and it’s indeed an association dedicated to improving agriculture and animal husbandry.
The reverse is the Coat of Arms of the county of Jönköping along with agricultural tools.
[Jönköpings läns Hushållningssällskap are still around today](https://hushallningssallskapet.se/hushallningssallskapet-jonkoping/).
The second is a ferry token for the steam ferries that transported travelers between different locations around Stockholm. Stockholms Ångslups AB was the result of a merger between many independently owned steam ferries into a single corporation, and the first half of the 20th century was the height of the stockholm ferry traffic. There are still some ferries today (servicing Stockholm and the nearby archipelago) but nowhere near what there used to be.
P.S: The price of the token, 10 öre, indicates that it’s from the very beginning of the 20th century.
You might have already done this, but otherwise…
For the first one, this page might be worth running through translation:
https://hushallningssallskapet.se/hushallningssallskapet-jonkoping/om-oss/
There is also a mail address there where you could ask about it if you don’t get a good reply here.
For the second, the token for a steam ship, you can translate this page:

“Hushållningssällskap” does literally translate to “householding association” but is used for agricultural associations. [This](https://hushallningssallskapet.se/hushallningssallskapet-jonkoping/) is the website of the organisation that is likely referred to on the medal, under “kontakta oss” you should find contact information if you want to ask them
Sweden’s oldest Agricultural Society – founded in the 18th century
The Swedish Agricultural Societies have a long tradition as knowledge providers within agriculture, land management, forestry, related water resources, and rural development. Hushållningssällskapet Gotland is the oldest in the country and has existed for more than 200 years. It was founded on April 3, 1791, following King Gustav III’s encouragement to establish agricultural societies across the Swedish realm. Gotland and Åbo County were the first (Finland was part of Sweden until 1809), while other societies were formed at a county level during the first half of the 19th century. Since 1850, Agricultural Societies have existed in all counties of Sweden.
The original purpose was to stimulate increased and rational food production. Later, the scope was significantly broadened to include a variety of missions for the general development of society. Among other things, the Agricultural Society has run agricultural schools for long periods, been the first rural organization, and initiated the first agricultural cooperative associations.
From this historical foundation, the Agricultural Societies have evolved into a knowledge-based organization that today serves farmers, rural entrepreneurs, universities, authorities, and other institutions.
