I only posted one side of the coins and brightened up the scans some because they all come out dark. If anyone has info I would appreciate it!

    Show me the other side of the third one from the top and I can identify it for you. It's obviously Arab, but I can't tell which country.

    The 1938 Egyptian coin is a 1 millieme (not fils) featuring King Farouk (1936-52).
    The Chinese coin probably has the name and denomination on the other side. My guess would possibly be Kiang-nan 10 cash Y-E140, a scarce type! I may have missed a more common type that may be nearly identical though.

    The top coin is a general issue 10 cash coin (denomination is on the side shown!) dated 1907 and minted in Tianjin (Tientsin). There are several varieties but we need to see the otherside to identify. Could be Y 10.3, 10.4, or 10.4a.

    I do not think it can be Y E140 because there are no dots in the legend.

    Also, I believe the top three scans are all upside down.

    I'm looking forward to a picture or description of the other side of that Chinese coin to clear up the mystery!

    I don't think there is any mystery with the 10 cash coin. It's a general issue. If Krause is to be believed, the mule has dots in the legend.
