    A bunch of common circulated foreiGn coins. The kind of stuff you would see at your local coin store's world junk bin 5/$1. Based on the size, the Canadian 5c is a nickel and is not a proof. The German Euro is worth a Euro so that's a plus...

    The other coins are a good start for a world coin collection but you won't be getting rich off them.

    The Elizabeth coin at the top is a British 5 pence, not a Canadian nickel. Can you take better pictures of it? I doubt it's a proof, but at the same time, circulation strikes of those usually aren't reflective at all.

    On most modern Canadian coins the date is on the reverse. So if you see the queen on the obverse and no date there is a good chance it is from Canada.

    There are proofs from 1977 (and every other year from 1971 to today, for that matter), but I don't believe yours came from a proof set. Looks like it's just a nice business strike.
