Earlier today I found 3 little slips of coins in the bottom of my dresser drawer. No idea when they got there and in some cases, what they are. Please see what I found today, and identify the ennlarged foreign ones for me.

Thanks

The first of the enlarged coins is Belgium 2 centimes, issued in the name of king Albert I (1909-1934).
Legends around the crowned A-monogram read: Albert, king of the Belgians. Legends are in Dutch (Flemish).
On the reverse the Belgian lion is holding the Belgian Constitution (legends read BELGISCHE GRONDWET 1831 = Belgian Constitution 1831). EENDRACHT MAAKT MACHT is our national motto and means : Unity is strength. Then there is the denomination 2 CENTn (2 centiemen = Dutch for 2 centimes) and the name of the maker BRAEMT F(ecit) = Made by Braemt.
It was struck in bronze

The second one is a cent of the Netherlands. KONINGRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN is Dutch for Kingdom of the Netherlands. On the other side there is the denomination 1 CENT within a wreath of orange leaves (The Royal House of the Netherlands is the House of Orange-Nassau; on national occasions Dutch people tend to wear orange clothes, using as much orange accessories as possible)

Thanks! I love history lessons and I get to learn about my coins at the same time. Thanks for such detailed information.

...grade, and current values please...

The Belgian 2 centimes 1912 (Flemish version, KM# 65) has a mintage of 1.6 million. I'd grade this one a flat VF. CV in that grade (2006 ed. of Krause) is 50¢. Belgian coins come in two flavours, a Flemish/Dutch version and a French version (KM# 64); for 1912, the Flemish one is slaightly scarcer, but in that condition it doesn't make much difference to the CV.

The Netherlands one cent 1941 (KM# 152) is the last year of issue of this coin type, mintage 66 million (quite a high number for this series). I'd grade this one a good VF, maybe an American EF. CV in EF: $1.
