    I shouldnt have said large amount, I realise this is very few coins.



    Because of the 5 picture limit, I tried to only put up the sides which would have the most information. I can upload the other side if needed.

    For the other ones I dont even know the countries. I tried to cut out all the ones not older then 1960, but couldnt resist the weird African looking one.

    ALSO there were two extremely tiny ones I couldnt scan, one

    Republic of portugal, 20 centavos, 1970

    and one,


    1966, 1 Kurus, No idea on the country.

    Franco, the Spanish dictator, appears with his official title "Caudillo" on the upper two coins on the left side in the first picture, and the top coin in the second picture. All three are common, inexpensive coins.

    Value of the token/medal of the Kingston Historical Society depends on what metal it is struck in. If it's silver it's worth bullion value, otherwise it's probably not worth more than $1-2. (If you can find a history buff interested in Canadian history you might get a little more.)

    The Italian 100 Lira at the bottom of the first picture is also common and inexpensive.

    "Kurus" are a Turkish denomination.

    I'll let someone else deal with the other two coins in your pictures.

    The coin with the antelopes is a 100 shilingi from Tanzania. 'Mia moja' means literally 'one hundred ones'. The obverse (not shown) features Julius Nyerere, president from independence in 1964 to 1985.

    The coin with arabic is a 1 dirham from Morocco. The script reads 'Hasan the Second, the Moroccan Kingdom'. The date is on the reverse (not shown) and is somewhere between 1965-1969.
