1800's various country's coins

Hello World Coin People! In my coin collection inheritance, I came across many 1800's coins from various countries. A few of these coins are in excellent condition. I am just starting my research and logging on the inventory sheet. I was excited to find these. There are many more from other countries, I'm just getting started.
If there are any you wish to see, let me know and I will photograph them.

I also found a 1790 - British Guinea Gaming Token Georgvis III - how do I tell if this is from the 1790's or just a replica coin?

 

What is the diameter and, how much does it weigh?

 

You didn't say what kind of feedback you're looking for. It sounds like a lot of cool coins. If you're wondering about value, most if not all of the non-silver ones are the kind that sell for a dollar or two. I wonder if you meant Swiss 20 rappen instead of francs? Francs would be gold. The silver coins always are worth at least a few dollars each and some will be more. FYI the Greek coin's denomination is lepta.

 

I'd like to see the 1894 Greek 5 ΛΕΠΤΑ (that's Lepta). The monarch on the obverse is George I, who was Prince Philip of Great Britain's grandfather (and the current Charles III's great-grandfather). I have one of these from that period. On the reverse, you will notice the word "ΩΒΟΛΟΝ" (Obolon). The ancient Greeks had a coin called an obol, but this term is not related. The currency of much of Europe at that time was tied in some way to the British pound. In Britain, "obol" was slang for a British halfpenny. So the Greek 5 lepta coin was equal to a British halfpenny. On the 10 lepta coins of the same period, you will find the word "ΔΙΩΒΟΛΟΝ", "Diobolon", meaning 2 obols, in other words, equal to a British penny. (I am of Greek heritage and can read and speak the language rather fluently.) I'd also like to see the illegible coin, chances are I'll be able to at least tell where it's from.

 

Just curious, where are you getting your coins? I've purchased "by the pound" from dealers and some have very old coins, while others are all modern coins. Love seeing the old world designs.

 

Your Newfy 50 cent has some possibilities. Can you photo?

 

1876 halfpenny, 1860-1877 and 1897 pennies please, always worth a look.

 

@Hiddendragon it was just sharing of findings and possibly on the Swiss rappen, I don't know world coins to know, but I will take a photo for you to let me know. Thank you for the information as well.

 

@Abramthegreat it's pretty light, I don't have a scale to weigh it. I'm guessing you were writing about the gaming token right?

 

@manny9655 thanks for the clarification on the coin names. I attached a photo of the lepta, it's in REALLY great condition in my opinion, as well as the illegible coin. I just found all of them cool.

 

@Bill in Burl photos attached.

 

@Mountain Man I inherited my grandparents and my father's coin collections. Over 3000 us coins and the list of world coins above.

 

Well, the Newf 1882H 50 cent is worth (or trends) for about $50.

 

Yes, that's what I meant

 

@mrbadexample It would only let me attach the number of files I attached. Second post with the remaining of the coins you wanted to see.

 

I guess that's pretty darn good for a fifty cent piece.... LOL!

 

@Abramthegreat I did a bunch of research before posting it as a gaming coin. The nose on the face side of the coin makes it sure bet for the gaming coin and not the true coin, I was excited when I first started researching, but then it was clearly not the real one.

 

Illegible coin looks like a UK coin of George II
Here's a 1732 George II farthing for comparison
Depending on size could be a halfpenny or farthing, I think.
