    Well, the three on the left have the denomination "10" and the two on the right have "5".

    They all seem to be double-dated, which is a typical characteristic of Egyptian coins (and the toughra on the one at the far right is usually found on Egyptian and Turkish coins, but Turkey uses a legend in roman letters). From left to right the western dates are 1992, 1984, 1984, 1992, 1984, all to the right of the pictures. The corresponding AH dates are to the left of the pictures.

    I've been missing things right before my eyes lately, but I can't find those coins anywhere in the 2006 Krause Egyptian listings. I know I've seen that building before, but you know how the memory gets when someone my age doesn't get his afternoon nap. :p

    They are KM732, 556, 556, 731 and either 622.1 or 622.2 - from left to right.

    The difference between the 622.1 & 622.2 is whether the denomination is shaded or not. Not sure exactly what they mean by that, I guess it is obvious if you have both of them.

    The three on the left are 10 piastres coins and the two on the right are 5 piastres coins. There are 100 piastres in a Pound.
