 , to the community, Try taking pictures of of both sides of two or three coins at a time, this would be better for us to ID them for you. |

Yes, some of these coins can't be properly identified by showing one side only.
One-but-last coin in 1st row is a Russian 1800 1 Kopek.
1st coin in 2nd row is a Russian 1 Kopek from the first half of the 18th century.
3rd coin in 2nd row is a 1879 5 Para from Serbia.
1st coin in one-but-last row is a Russian copper, possibly 2 Kopeks, the date can be found on the other side (1750s?).
In the last row, the piece with the portrait, is probably not a coin.
The coins that have the A II (Alexander II) monogram are also Russian (this type was minted from 1855 till 1867, value on the other side).

The German States coin DL20K couldn't identify is a 1/4 stuber from the county of Wied-Runkel Craig#3. The GW-monogram stands for "grafschaft Wied" (county of Wied) and not for the ruler, who was at that time count Johann Ludwig Adolph.

The first of the first batch is a 7.6 soldi from the kingdom of Sardinia (Craig#82), struck in the name of king Carlo Emanuele IV.
I don't recognise any of the 2 others.
The 2nd of the second batch is a French coin in the name of Louis XVI, struck during the Ancien Regime, before the French Revolution. I cannot make out whether it is a liard, a 1/2 sol or a sol.
I don't recognise the first of these 3 coins. The third one is a 4 pfennig from the Archbishopric of Trier (KM#259).

The second coin of the first batch is also a French coin: a 6 deniers in the name of Louis XIV, the Sun King. This coin was struck from 1710 to 1712. I think I recognize the mintmark & for Aix, which makes it KM#400.3

Hi Gforce, I'll try to identify some, but I think it would be better you start a new thread every time you post one or two new batches, otherwise it can be difficult to put identifications to the right coins.

first batch:
1) Argentina provincial coinage Buenos Ayres 1 decimo
2) seems a Russian polushka (1/4 kopek) to me
3) China/Empire provincial coinage, province of Kwang-tung 10 cash, early 20th century
4) France, liard in the name of Louis XVI, Ancien Regime
5) Portugal, probably a 5 reis. I cannot make out in the name of which ruler it has been struck (IOSEPHUS I ?, MARIA I ?)

Second:
1. Poland 3 grosze - Stanislaus Augustus (date in upper left of the side with the arms.. last possible date is 1795)
2. Austria/Hungary half Kreuzer - Maria Theresa
3. Russia 1 kopek 1800 - Tsar Paul
Edit.. the sixth one is interesting. Is this a Russian 2 (?) kopek overstruck on some foreign coin? The EM that you can see is the mintmark here.

second batch:
1) ?
2) Austria 1/2 kreuzer KM#1985 no date, but struck in 1760, bust of empress Maria Theresia
3) Russia 1 kopek, with monogram of czar Paul I
4) German States: Hesse-Cassel, 1 or 2 heller coin, monogram of landgrave Wilhelm VIII
5) Prince-bishopric of Liege (nowadays in Belgium): liard in the name of prince-bishop John Theodore of Bavaria
6) Russia, I suppose a 2 kopeks. I also have the impression I can see the figure of Marianne, a symbol of the French Revolution.
