    Hello, apparently these were collected about 40 years ago. Any help on what they are and any associated value would be much appreciated!!

    I cannot tell about the Mexican 50 peso (coin in the bezel), but all of the others look like cast tourist fakes. You can see the casting seem along the rims.

    Interesting. I have not been able to find much on these anywhere. They are not magnetic.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Yes, that was my first thought as well. Those are all fakes.

    I can't tell if the Mexican coin is genuine, but I would assume it is. It is pretty much just worth bullion value - it has very likely been damaged by the jewelry bezel.

    They are copies of Spanish gold cobs and Gold Ducats from Holland.

    Having the weight of the coins would go a long ways towards knowing if they are fake or not.
