I see a Japanese silver 100 Yen dated Showa 33 /1958/
The silver is .600, the coin weighs 4.8 g.

Edit:

And the AH1313 /1895/ Arab coin is a Moroccan dirham.
.835 silver, weight 2.9 g.

On the top pic (#2284), the top two (with the human figures on both sides) are not coins, but Indian "temple tokens", like these on zeno.ru.

Centre left is a Chinese 20 cents, Year 15 of the Republic (1926) like this one on zeno.ru.

Centre is Japan 100 yen, as has been described.

Centre right is an Indian coin, looks like British East India Company - Madras Presidency, either a quarter or half rupee I think, dated 1204 Islamic calendar (= 1789/90 AD), similar to (but not the same as) this one on zeno.ru. I'll double-check this one in the references when I get home.

At the bottom is the Moroccan one already identified.

Found the Indian one: Bengal Presidency (not Madras) 1/4 rupee, KM# 96, dated 1204/19, but struck with this "frozen date" throughout the late 1700's and early 1800's.
