I don't know what these coins are worth. I had them since I was young from my father who used to travel the World for his job. Thanks.

The two Swiss (Helvetica) ones have a current face vale of about $8.
The rest are around 20-50 cents.

The 50p is worth about 75cents, though it's not currently circulating. One Frank was worth about 15 cents when I went there in the 1990s. I don't remember how much the Italian Lira was worth, but maybe like 15 cents or so. The Italian Lira was a high number currency.

The 50p is demonetized since the 1990's. The Italian and French pieces were both replaced by the Euro in 2002.

The Swiss ones are the only legal tender here, as mentioned above worth about $8
Rest in Peace

These probably have more value to you as keepsakes, rather than their value as coins to sell.

However, they would make a wonderful start to a world coin collection. Often you can buy pounds of world coins that have similar coins to what you've shown at good prices. Or you can often find boxes of world coins at coin shows that you can dig through and find nice coins, sometimes for 25c each to 50c each.

To get an idea about the value, look at the ebay listings that have actually sold.

Keep the coins, the Swiss coins are very nice. The stainless steel Italians are common, but seem to be in good shape. Why sell?
