#1: Iran, 1000 dinars dated AH 1335 (= 1916 AD). KM# 1056. .900 fine silver, probably about $8 in that condition.
#2: not a coin, but an Indian Hindu "temple token". Do a CCF forum search on that phrase and you'll find several threads with them, such as this recent one. Not silver. Not listed in coin catalogues but they're not worth very much, maybe a dollar or two.
#3: Iraq 50 fils 1938. KM# 104, .500 fine silver, maybe worth $10 in this condition.
#4: German States, from the Prussian territory of East Friesland, 1 mariengroschen 1753. KM# 215, silver content irregularly low. I'd say it's worth $15 to $20.
#5: a "drachm" is a unit of weight; this is what is known as an "apothecary weight" for half a drachm.
#6: Thailand indeed, as fioti said, and older than the usual Thai coins that you often see. The date's a little hard to read on this one but I think it's from Year 124 in the dynastic calendar, or 1905 AD. KM/Y# 32a, silver unspecified but fairly high, CV $15 in VF.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
