Wow, your dad had a good eye... and back when these coins could be purchased for probably only a small premium over melt. I see at least 6 coins...
NGC for Chinese (and most other non-US) coins.
My best guess is a tourist souvenir, probably somewhere around middle of 20th century.

I was recently looking for rubber-tipped tweezers and came across this...
Best of luck with your pursuits, I know how hard it can be with some of these "unknown rarities" that few people are aware of or talk about. :)
No I don't generally collect anything past 1960 or so. The set I wanted to put together was just typical common circulating pieces. I did see your...
