sounds like some nice family heirlooms

Oesterreische - sounds like Austria maybe

Magyor - may be Hungary.

kreuzer might be swiss? ? ?

with out pictures it's hard to tell.

sort out the king George V and VI take snaps of them and post in UK or Canada boards then the rest need pics in the world coin section and we can give you a better idea

This coin was made at many mints, and each mint used a different mint-mark. Let us know what yours is - most likely "A" for Vienna.

Quote:
1856 cino centimes

(most likely) France, 5 centimes, 1856

Again, this is a coin with many different mint-marks.

Romania, 2 bani, 1880

This coin is fairly rare.

Quote:
1950 "5 pfennic"

Two options:
German Federal Republic (West Germany), 5 pfennig, 1950
http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces658.html
German Democratic Republic (East Germany), 5 pfennig, 1950
http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3022.html

Quote:
1897 "2 centesimi"

Italy, 2 centesimi, 1897

Now for the ones that I'd need pictures for...

Quote:
1870 cinco romos?

No idea what this could be.

Quote:
1860 aeheka

This is probably not a unit of currency. However, I am thinking maybe you misread something in Greek (ΛΕΠΤΟΝ [Lepton] or APAXMΗ [Drachma] are both Greek units of currency that look like they begin with the letter "A").
