Coins and Tokens... need ID assistance!

Hello,
I have been working hard to identify and organize the various world coins given to me by my parents, but without access to a Krause catalog it has been a bit slow. :P

Attached please find a few pictures which I need help identifying... two feature the obverse and reverse sides of three coins indicating "Empire Cherifien", one of 25 centimes value and two of 1 franc. What country are these from and what years are they? There are more characters which appear Arabic to me, but I am uncertain.

Another two pictures feature a token with a fortuneteller peering into a crystal ball with a swastika on one side, and various good luck charms on the reverse. I actually saw a couple on eBay recently, but the auctions did not indicate any information about tokens. If the text is unreadable, one side says "Good Luck Will Accompany The Bearer", and the other says "The All Seeing Eye Guards You From Evil".

Finally, two pictures show a very well-worn coin with a hole, probably used as a necklace or some such (in my estimation). Think of this one as a challenge! I was wondering if there is any way to identify it... the obverse appears to be a George, and the reverse seems to have the beginning of a "1" right near the hole.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
