I have identified most of the coins in the collection, they surprisingly added up to around 1800$ however there is a few I just cannot identify I have posted pics of the coins, if anyone can help identify what they are and approximate value, it would greatly appreciated.

The one with the birds is a Japanese coin.

Edit: I think it is this one:
Showa Year 3 (1928)
http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces14253.html

The bottom one is a Soviet WWII commemortive.

Edit:

I don't have my catalog on me at work so I'll look them up when I get home if no one else has.

The Libertad seems to be a token of some sort. It might be from Mexico. Although it could be from the U.S. because it is an approximation of the Standing Liberty quarter. It is probably going to be difficult to identifty.

Edit: here is someone with a similar token http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...d-token.html

Unfortantly no one there has responded.

I moved your welcome post to the 'Identification: Unidentified Coins, Medals, and Tokens' forum for the proper attention.

Thanks for the reply, that libertad coin is a bit of a mystery, but I thank you for identifying the japanese coin, I've looked everywhere to find what it is.

The Japanese coin: I read 5+10+money.
Would that be 50 fen? 50 sen?
The Libertad: without a country nor a denomination it is most likely a token,
BUT FROM WHERE?

Yeah, the token is annoying me too. I sugested Mexico because "Libertad" is Spanish for freedom, or the United States because the design looks like a bad rip-off of a Standing Liberty quarter. Although it would be odd (I think) to have "value" on a Mexican token.

I checked Richard's token database and didn't get any hits. Who did you inherit the coins from? Was there any place where they lived for a while? Maverick tokens can be rather annoying.

The Japanese is 50 sen (allranger provided a link to it). Fen would be for coins across the strait, Chinese.

Since the token has English legend, "value 25", I'd guess it's from the South West states or California.

Since we have a mystery on our hands, let me try a guess.
Perhaps the Libertad/Value 25 is connected to the Philippines.
Circa WWII. After liberation.
