Found this in the $1 bin along with another Frederick VI I'm trying to identify. Hard to do without a Krausse haha. But this is a 1777 Swiss Batzen I believe. Sorry for the horrid photos. The coin is actually in fairly good shape, especially for a buck.
Next best thing. http://en.numista.com/ Hit "Country List" if you know the origin, or the advanced search, which even allows entry of extended characters.
I went to the big Santa Clara, California coin show today and found this item in a dealer's "junk box" for $3.00: It is an Egyptian Magic Coin Token, pretty worn, was probably a pocket piece. I have bought a couple of these on Ebay and on August 30, I wrote an article on them and posted it to the board: http://www.cointalk.com/t191225 I told the dealer about the token's appearance in the film "Duel in the Sun", he had seen the film but did not remember the token.
