    Really hard to say for sure based on those pics but I'd say the 8 escudos is a fake.

    The 5 marks coin is pretty common and worth a few dollars but that's about it.

    That would depend on the condition (grade) of the coin. Value on those can vary from bullion content to many thousands.

    Yep, I agree.

    The 8 escudos is a cast counterfeit.

    The German coin is worth in the $20-$40 range depending on how accurate the pictures are.
