    I recently bought a mixed world coin lot 240+ coins already in an album, the picture was blurry and I felt like it was lottery. Anyway it was great fun! There were many goodies (at least to me) and a lot of dirty poor ones as well.
    Anyway, I found 2 coins that I am unable to identify. Maby someone could help me? Thanks!

    (I noticed after uploading the picture and this msg that the copper eagle is barely visible. I will try to make a better scan)

    I believe the coin with the hole is Japanese, 5 yen, their year Showa 45 (our 1970).

    The other I believe is Austrian, 2 heller.

    Neither has much value (under a dollar).

    I'll have to disagree with kanga with the Japanese year. It's a 5 yen coin, dated showa 49, making it 1974, not showa 45. The other is an Austrian 2 heller coin dated 1915.

    Oops, correct.
    Out of practice.

    Thank you so much everyone for helping me out!
    Interesting that the copper is a Heller. I am surprised that Austria has a two headed eagle. I knew Russia has, and Prussia, but how come Austria? Must be that they all where from the same royal family...
    Although the coins have no value I believe they are nice.
