In need of identification help...

Howdy there,

I don't really collect world coins, can anyone assist in identifying some of these world coins?

I appreciate any help anyone could provide image

Edit: Ignore the US coins, please.

    The left side third from the top is an upside down Chinese cash coin. The rest are European - two George III (18th-early 19th Century) and one George VI (early mid-20th Century) English coins. The other one says Scotland and might have young Queen Victoria on it; but there's no matching picture in the 19th Century Krause under Scotland, and Victoria was an old lady by the turn of the century.

    Actually, it's not Scotland but Nova Scotia. It's a 1 penny token of 1840 or 1843 listed as KM-4.

    Thanks for the help, perhaps one of these days I'll pick up a Krause book to identify these holey world coins I get in these lots at times.

    The Chinese one is from the Board of Revenue, Beijing. It was produced during the Kangxi period, 1662-1723.

    Is it just my eyes or does that half dime have a mint mark?

    The large silver piece is a 4 Reales from Mexico and the small one next to the half dime looks to be a 1 Reale from Mexico. And of course the bottom right is a Canadian 25 cent piece.
