In need of some help. I came across various coins from around the world. I am hoping that someone can assist me with telling me what their location of origin is. Many thanks in advance. I do apologize for the clarity, but I can take individual pictures if needs be.  |

Off the top of my head and using only the photo that you provided:
Coins with either Queen Elizabeth II or her father and grandfather are from Great Britain or one of the Commonwealth nations.
Top row, far right looks to be French.
Bottom row, third from left, appears to be from The Netherlands.
Identification can be a chore but it is, in the end, quite rewarding in itself.

The bi-metallic one on the top row, 2nd from right is from Mexico. The large gold colored coin in the middle of the bottom row is also from Mexico. The top left larger coin is from Sweden. I also see quite a few from the UK, including 2 or 3 with silver content.

Thanks Matthew and VB.
VB - Is the larger Mexican coin of any significance or is it 1000 pesos?

Always glad to help out a fellow member!
Second from left, top row, there are two, small coins. The lower one looks to be a Great Britain three pence piece.
The one above it looks to be a bit larger. But I think it is British or a Commonwealth nation.
Both appear to be silver.
A closer look at the bottom, far left coin would be a great help.

The coin with the central hole is from Denmark. The heptagonal piece is probably a 20p coin from the UK, and the two right next to it are from Sweden, I think. But most of these coins, except for British coins, will have a country name anyway.
