Hmmm, very cryptic. 
I thought the first one might be Austrian, but the plural of "schilling" is "schilling", not "schillings". Besides, Austria didn't exist in 1942 - the Nazis had assimilated it. So Triggersmob is probably right - it's likely a British florin, or two shilling coin. Here's the one from WCG:

I have no idea what the "hard rim" and "indentation might mean - it might be a trench-art or "vandalised" coin.
Being "dime-sized", I'd have assumed a sixpence, but the design of the silver threepence matches the description better. Seems to be describing something cup-shaped; they're not supposed to be like that. Again, they might be damaged, vandalised or made into trench-art.
I think Trigger has called the "mustached George" correctly.
That's a good call on the bird/flower one, too. I was thinking of another Japanese coin, but this one fits the time period of the other coins much better.

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
