This is the last of the coins I've sorted through that I can't figure out. I think the large silver one is from Egypt and the coin in the last picture I was thinking Russia. Date starts with 17 can't read last 2 digits. Any help is appreciated.

2, 3, 5 are figured out.

The last coin shown, in the holder, looks to be a 1700's Austrian coin.

The text is very small in the photo so click on the photo to zoom in.

Bottom coin may be this type. Might need to know weight (g) and diameter (mm) to determine denomination;otherwise:

The coin to the right of the 1812-1912 anniversary medal is a Napoleonic medal. On the obverse is Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia who played a big role in the war. On the reverse is the phrase "ruhm und sieg" which means glory and victory. The medal is from sometime after the war ended with liberation being won, that was 1814. This example is brass but not sure what yours is. In the future I suggest doing just 2 or 3 coins at a time ,back and fronts. Otherwise put them on a piece of paper where you can write a number next to each so they can be checked off and avoid duplicated work and confusion looking at them. A lot of nice examples of coin and medals you got.:thumbsup:

Ok I took your suggestion and added numbers and 2 other tokens. I think the medal is brass as well, just very dark and slightly pitted, some of the color shows through.

The coin in "Villagenut's" #9 post above shows the word IETTON in the exergue. This means JETON or JETTON, a token used for counting or commemoration--among its uses.
