Quote: BarnabusCheck Austria, Russia, and Germany for the one with the bird. I would say a Kreuzer IDK what year, or denomination. but looks similar to me.
Nope, I'd say it's an Itallian States coin, again I'm not sure exactly what it is, but the eagle design looks similar to this coin

and you can see roman numerals on the bottom of the reverse and what looks like RE???S which could be regius
better pictures of that side of the coin might help with identification.
Ah your right, I didn't look close enough lol. forgot Kreuzers have 2 heads like Russia, german has 1 head. You hit it on the head. Not that coin, but a great starting point for him to find it.
Thanks guys for the help. I know a couple of them are pretty rough as are my photo skills. The one with Queen Elizabeth II is made of lead I think and has no reverse to speak of, just textured. The one in the first pic appears hand hammered, the metal (not sure if it's silver or not) is imperfect with graining and such in it and you can see where it squashed out the side of the mold a bit. Thanks again. Really pleased that I've found this site.
Can you make out any of the letters on that one that I thought was Itallian States? If you can make out some of the letters it might help to identify them. If you can't read them well you could try doing a rubbing of the coin (put some paper over it and lightly go back and forward over it with a pencil) to try and get an impression of the letters.
