The top left-hand coin is from Egypt,& the top right-hand coin is from Libya.The rest are from Ottoman Turkey. Aidan.
Not sure of the rest yet, but the one on the top right is Libyan, 2 piastres. Minted in 1952. Worth about 35c, in World Coins 2004. I'm looking for the others. Ted

Cool That's every coin in my collection identified now. Cheers all 3 of you. EDIT: The two Piastres coin is dated 1907.
Eddy,if you look closely at the date on the Libyan coin,you will find that it is actually dated 1952.There's a number chart in the front of Krause.You should look at the numbers there & match the dates on the coins.To convert it,there is a Hegira date chart,which is in the back of Krause to help you there. Aidan.
The 1 Qirsh coin is dated AH1293/29 year of reign, which is about AD 1904; 1/5 Qirsh is of later reign which started in AH1327 (AD 1909). I can't see from the photo, but below tougra on the lower left coin (on the second photo) you can see a small number indicating the year of reign. If you add it to 1909 you'll know the year when this Egyptian coin was mint (some time between 1910 and 1915).
The Misr on the lower left coin is on the first photo around the rim to the left of the 5. The regal year is in the second photo below the toughra and above the denomination name
