I am sure a member by the name of SAP can name those coins but I am not familiar with them myself but know I have seen them on this site before, so someone if not Sap will be able to give you a definite answer

rawypetit Welcome to the forum, I can tell you that they are Spanish I think Mostly 8 Reales. We have another memeber from Egypt here So "Marhaba" . We have a collector and I am sure a few others who have this series as their main Focus. And I am sure they will be along to answer your Questions. " Ma-Sa-Lama "for now.

Welcome, rawypetit. I should be able to give you some information on #1,3-5 once I'm home and can see the images. For some reason the pictures look very small here at work. I'll blow them up on my home PC tonight.

Hi rawypetit Welcome to this forum that I think you'll enjoy. There are a lot of friendly people here. I posted a topic today wondering if there is anyone from Egypt on this forum, and I think your post is the answer.  Anyway your coins are from Spain and as nancyc answered you this site https://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/Co...illed.2.html has got the answer for your questions. Welcome and enjoy     |

Yes, most of those are Spanish dollars - Swamperbob would tell you more about their genuineness, I'm sure, but even to an amateur fake-spotter like me, the third one looks suspiciously bubbly.
The second one is Napoleon as king of Naples and Sicily, 5 lire 1813. Genuine examples of this coin in that condition are worth over $500.
Sorry for the rushed post - got a family thing to go to. Will check in again later tonight (Australia time) to clarify things, if needs be.

OK, I'm back... now let's have a more thorough look at these. Here's what the Krause catalogues say.
Coin 1: Spanish Mexico 8 reales 1796, Mexico City mint. CV in that condition, $30 to $40 or so.
Coin 2: Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (Napoleonic occupation) 5 lire 1813. The ruler is actually Joachim Murat, one of Napoleon's generals. CV $500 or so. Genuine ones should weigh exactly 25 grams.
Coin 3: Spanish Mexico 8 reales 1782, Mexico City mint. CV in that condition, $70 or so. Of all the dollars, this one looks "least genuine" to me - unless that's "shipwreck corrosion".
Coin 4: Spanish Mexico 8 reales 1791, also Mexico City mint. CV in that condition also $30 to $40 or so. Not sure what the blobs of metal at the top of the obverse are - either a mount mark (if it's genuine) or a casting mark (if it's fake).
Coin 5: Spanish Peru 8 reales 1813, Lima mint. CV in that condition, probably not much more than $20. This one likewise seems to have a mount/casting mark.
As noted, some of them definitely look suspicious; if they all came from the same source, then all of them would be suspect.
