    It is a Kushan coin
    with a depiction of the king in the obverse ( Vidma Kadphises or Kanishka ) and a deity on the reverse
    minted ca 150 - 250 AD

    That looks like it. I must have it upside down then. Kinda looks like an octopus.

    Thanx Froggycoins and DCH for the info on coins #1, 2, & 3.

    I think #7 is for an automatic clothes washing machine but I don't know for absolute certain. I think I have a similar looking one I bought awhile back and that's what I was told. I will look for it a bit later. Oh, and #5 is Kali a Hindu diety, possibly an old token to a belly dance place or a fantasy token. :D Thumbs up on your collection, I remember your Mexican Coins, amazing collection!! :thumb:
