Hi everyone,

So I've been hooked by the coin collecting bug, started just collecting special editions currently in use but has slowly grown. Recently I got handed some coins from family however I am stumped to what they are and was hoping someone on here may be able to shed a little light on them or point me in the right direction.

Thankyou for any help in advance

Btw i will be impressed if you can identify the last one!
 
That one coin to the bottom right looks like the same design as a British coin I had seen before. I think it's King Richard(:dontknow:) slaying a dragon.
 
The last maybe a counterfeit gold crown, but seems odd there would be so much wear, and something tells me there's a better answer... but that's all i have for now.

The harp one is a counterfeit halfpenny known as an evasion.

IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG, laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right.SOLI INVIC-TO COMITI, Sol standing left, chlamys across left shoulder,holding globe and raising right hand. A-S across fields.Mintmark PLG. (Lyons, France)
Don..........

The middle row (the one in the middle and to the right) is a British Evasion Token "North Wales", I believe.
 
Thanks all for your quick reply, didnt think response was going to be that quick and glad to ID all the coins now
 
I know these are not rare coins but how would i go about valuation, I dont have a local expert to help unfortunately? Thanks
