Gidday Roy, Some very nice finds there mate. Fantastic condition on both the half penny and the Chch token too. You must be stoked.
I think you'll find that the Fox head is actually a Wolf's head cub scout insignia. I'm not 100% on that but I do recall seeing various books from back in the 1950's, with pic's of the Wolf Cub badges. I think also I've seen a set of children's books called "The Wolf Cub Annual"..........hope this helps with your research. Catch up sometime soon mate.
