I'm looking for ID help with five coins. I am sure the first two are German States, the next two are probably German States and the closest guess I can make on the last one is that it is European.
The first one came to me in a holder that said Paderborn but it was scratched out and "NO" written over it. I tend to think that Paderborn correct but I have no resource that far back to tell for certain. It is 22mm in dia. and weighs 3.06 grams.

This next one came in a holder labeled Wurzburg and like the last one I tend to agree but do not have any info. A note on the holder says "Reverse not in the catalog" so suspicion remains. It is 19mm in dia. and weighs 1.02 grams.

I have no info on the next three. The first is even difficult to read the date for sure. 1620 something. It is 16mm in dia. and weighs 0.65 grams.

Next is a tiny thing that if it was not struck "Uniface" it has lost half of itself. Looks like 1659, 12mm in dia. and weighs 0.22 grams.

Now the last one is the toughest of all for me as I am not sure how to even read the date in cross... 1709? The reverse is tough to make out but looks like an animal, perhaps a lamb, standing to the left but with it's head over it's back looking to the right with a banner or flag over the top. Malta or Papal State?

The first coin is Paderborn 3 pfennig 1718.

The second coin is Wurzburg 1796 1 Schilling. The design is a little different from KM, but it is Wurzburg.

#4 Salzburg, 1 Pfennig, KM#174.
#5 Order of Malta, 1 Grano, KM#140.

#2 should be KM#443, but Krause has the wrong picture. The coin pictured in Krause should be a one year type of 1796 with a different KM#.
