#1 is a token with what looks like Arabic text, but it may not be actual Arabic.
#2 is Egypt, 1/20 qirsh, 1327/2 (second year of Muhammad V's reign which began in 1327). In our calendar this is 1910.

#3 is a British penny from 1917.
#4 is Egypt, 1/10 qirsh, 1327/? (unsure of actual year because of poor scan quality).

#5 is Japan, 1 yen, 1965 as mentioned above.

Your bottom coin is actually from Algeria, 1 centime 1964. The bottom picture is upside-down.

Your cupronickel Egyptian coin is dated accession 1327 regnal year 2, which converts to AD 1910.

Your first coin is, as Nalaberong said, not actually a coin. It roughly imitates the old silver coinage from what is now Algeria; here's what a genuine coin looks like. They were made as costume-jewellery pieces. In many Middle Eastern cultures, wearing coins on festive occasions (weddings, etc) is traditional. For folks that can't afford real gold and silver coins, they wear things like this. Do a forum search for "imitation Ottoman Algeria" and you'll find numerous similar examples posted on the forum before, like this one.

Super, Thanks!

I have many world coins that I will have to research but they at least have a date on them so I can start digging.

These ones I didn't know where to start. I found one more I need some help with.

Your Thai coin is indeed from Thailand, a 1 baht dated Year 2549 in the Buddhist calendar, which converts to AD 2006.

Your Canada piece used to be a coin, but it's had one side ground flat and had someone's initials engraved onto it. It's now a "love token". The dark grey streak across the face is probably where a pin or lug was attached, for turning it into a brooch or button.

If we rotate your coin correctly.
I think this might be year 6, not year 2.

This looks like a British coin but I can not find it in a book.

There appears to be an 80 under the queen.
The reverse is upside down to the obverse side.
the figure on the reverse is sitting the opposite direction to a British large one cent.

The photo is actually pretty good, the coin is that rough! It feels very grimy but I don't know if I should attempt an acetone dip. I think the words are worn off all around.

The portrait is very distinctively the one used on British coppers in the 1806-1807 series (farthings, halfpennies and pennies). Which one you've got depends on how big it is.

The weight is 16.8 grams
The diameter is 34mm
I suspect it is a penny


From wiki
Quote:
In 1806 and 1807, another 150 tons of copper was coined into pennies at the Soho Mint, although this time the money was a token coinage with each penny only containing 18.9 grams of copper and being 34 millimetres in diameter
