Coin - GERMAN - Bayern - 1825 - Denomination unknown (to me)

Coin - GERMAN - Stadt Mynz - 2 Pfennig 1762 (Mainz?)

 

Coin - GERMAN - Wien?

 

Coin - Italy - 2 Centesimi - 1867

 

Coin - Mexico - 5 Centavos - 1889 (apparently, a fairly common date. Mine doesn't seem to be the overdate variety).

 

Coin - Spain - 10 Cents - 1883

 

Coin - Sweden - 1 Skilling - 1813 (or is it Norway? I always get Nordic coins confused in that era)

 

Jeton - French - Francois Rabelais (no idea of the era)

 

Is this a Jeton? A fantasy piece? A merchant token? Or an actual coin?

 

Just a few quick thoughts and comments ... I am sure others are better at determining which is what.

The coins in posts #6 and #9 are Hungarian pieces. (Austria-Hungary, but the text is in Hungarian.)
#12 should be Austrian - Franz II.
#13: The year is below the word "Centimes". Should be in the "revolution format", much like this one: http://www.lesfrancs.com/francais/5c1796rh.jpg
#16 is from Würzburg, I think.
#22: STADTMYNZ means something like city coin. This one could be from Augsburg, but I'm not sure.
#23: Yes, Vienna. Issued about 200 years ago ...

I cannot see your 1883 10 cent for some reason in my krause
Your 1 Skilling 1813 I cannot see in either but based on the head it looks like Norway but it still doesn`t show up.

Your last coin up is a French Jeton I have one myself with a similar design but haven`t researched it

I`m afraid thats all I can get for I`m sure someone else will find the ones I missed.

Sorry if my info post is just a chunk of numbers it's the best I can
do.
I must say, you have some very good coins in that lot!

Uniface pieces are Austrian 2 Pfennigs.

 

So, L'an 4 is 1795? (give or take a few days with the odd length of the Revolutionary calendar)

http://www.coinsandhistory.com/countries/French_coins2.html
" These Union et Froce coins were issued using the 2nd Revolutionary Calendar and dated from la' AN 4 through la' AN 13 (1795 to 1804)."

 

Right, "Year 4" began in September 1795. This page explains the details very nicely: http://apps.creounity.com/time_machine/index.php?go=revolutionfrancaise.php&lang=en Side note: The guy who wrote and develops this "time machine", Andrei Tretyakov, is also a member here (inscriptor). Great tool.

It looks like the duplicate coins from 1868 are 4 Krajczar's from the AustroHungarian Empire. They're quite thick coins.

 

That helps a lot. How would you grade them?

Also, I'm not seeing a 1691. On closer examination, the date looks more like 1694 (but that date still isn't listed here) :

What is their composition? And any idea of their mintages (NGC doesn't have any info).

 

Where are the mint marks on coins from Baden?

If it's not the D, then 'no mint mark' means it was minted where?

 

I'd call them VF/VF+, F, but it's hard to tell wear from strike without the coins in hand.
The 1691(or 1694) should be KM#1337, Vienna mint.
Krause says billon for the '75 and silver for the '91, no fineness or mintage listed.

 

The Wurzburg 1810 1/2 Kreuzer seems to have some pretty high valuations according to NGC:
