  1. Welcome to the forum @sambevan77 An interesting selection, but as you say nothing I think of startling value. It would take a long time and a lot of effort to fully ID all of those. A few shots: Row 1 - first is Roman, second looks to be "Hollandia" - ie Netherlands 18thc, third might be an Indian temple token, fourth and fifth I think are Ancient Sri Lankan, sixth looks byzantine, seventh no idea. Row 2 - first may be another byzantine, 2nd, 3rd, 4th look to be Indian , 5th maybe French, 6th, 7th and 8th Roman. Row 3 - 1st, 3rd and 4th look South American, 2nd might be the most valuable as it maybe an Indian gold Fanam, 5th and 9th no idea, 6th, 7th and 8th Indian or Middle Eastern. I hope that helps. You will have to do much more research in your own time, but hopefully those thoughts will get you into the right areas.

  2. H i am new to the forum and not a coin collector beyond some old uk coppers i had from my grandfather 40 years ago and the odd silver uk coins i randomly bough tover the years, bu ti bought a job lot of jewelry at an auction (case and contents) and these were in the bottom, obviously i would like someone to tell me i won the lottery but i doubt this if the rest of the contents of the box are anything to go by! but beyond this i would like to know what they are as there are some interesting and old looking coins here the centre coin in top row is 20mm across many thanks

  3. Oh, that's a dangerous website. It makes me remember and think about Japanese mon, ichibu-gin and other such Meiji era coins 🤣 I really don't need _Another_ rabbit hole!

  4. For the Asian coins I recommend this website: https://www.zeno.ru/index.php - far and away the most extensive resource on Asian coins. For example, I think the ones I suggested as Sri Lankan are similar to this: https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=371736&cat=3449&ppuser=&sortby=d&way=desc
