Lot of world coins

Hello everyone!

I received a collection from my grandfather. They are from all around the world with dates from the seventeen to the mid nineteen hundreds.

If anyone can identify some of the coins I have, please give me all the info you can, thanks! Please also let me know which ones are common and which ones are rare, thanks!

Spanish

ryanbooks, the coin that you posted under "Chinese", on the top left it is a Japanese 1000 yen coin commemorating the Tokyo Olympics '64. Face value alone is a 10 dollar coin but I see it going for 20-30 dollars easily. Nice coin.

The last coin in the first mix is Danish West Indies.

Hang onto the Central Santa Lugia thing, whatever it is.

Otherwise there's not a lot there to get excited about. There's lots of silver so don't give it away.

The french ones are :

- 5 centimes 1912 and 1916, both common
- 25 centimes 1904, common
- 1 franc silver 1898 (date of birth of my grand mother ) common so worn, scarce to rare in high grades of preservation

Other french coins :

In the second group of "mix" the top right one is a 50 centimes 1925, common
In the fourth group of "mix" the second left in the 2nd row is a 20 francs 1951, common, first left in the 3rd row is a 25 centimes 1920, common, and the second right in the 3rd row is a 100 francs 1955, common.

Hope that helps
