I finally found some time to scan many of my unidentified stuff. Because there were a few, I put them on my website, the link's below. Any help is appreciated.

Let's see if we can help with these.

Arabic #1: The left one looks like an early Ottoman silver akche; I think the year is "97x" where "x" is off-flan. The 970's (Islamic Era) corresponds roughly to the 1560's AD.

Arabic #2:The right one is double-struck, and looks a bit mangled as a result. The crescents on side 2 have got me thinking "Yemen", but I'm not sure.

Cyrillic: The backwards "N" has tricked you into thinking Russian, but this coin is a Philippines copper quarto. Backward letters and dates (like "2281" for 1822) are apparently common in this series.

Johdpur (Indian states): picture 2 is upside down; the dagger in the centre is the Johdpur mintmark. KM# 18 looks like a nice match from the picture in Krause, but I can't see a date either on your coin or the one pictured in Krause.

Got to run. I'll have another go at these later, if no-one else has helped in the meantime.

Good call on that Philippines coin! Thanks. I've been looking at that one for years. It cost me 20c to buy and many hours of fruitless searching since.

The Annamese piece is a charm. The Chinese characters in Vietnamese language read :

Obverse(top-bottom-right-left) :
Kien Phuoc Thong Bao. The reign title was used by Emperor Nguyen Gian Tong, 1883-84.

Reverse(anti-clockwise from 12 o'clock) :
Quoc Thai(country is calm and peaceful), Dan An(people living in harmony and tranquility), Phong Dieu(wind blowing properly), Vu Thuan(rain is continuous and adequate)
