    The first coin is Iran 5 rials KM#1207, 50th anniversary of Pahlavi rule. The date is 2535 following the monarchial calendar. MS2535 = 1976AD
    Catalog value in Krause for uncirculated = 3.50 $

    The second coin is Syria 2 1/2 piastres KM#93 with date 1962AD (=1382AH, also mentioned on the coin). Catalog value in Krause in Unc = 0.50$

    The third coin is also from Iran, like the first one . It is 1 rial with date 1338SH (=solar hegira calendar), which is 1959AD. KM#1171a with a catalog value of 0.40$ in XF and 3.00 $ in Unc.
