Another bunch of assorted world coins here, this time a little bit older ones.
Coin #1
Netherlands 1 gulden 1939 KM#161.1
Obverse (with the portrait of Wilhelmina, queen of Netherlands from 1890 to 1948):
Reverse (with grapes (to the left of the shield), a privy mark):
Please note that there's no scratch over the 'NING' letters in the legend, it's the damaged plastic of the holder.
The coin was struck in 1922-24, 1928-31, 1938-40 and in 1944 with P mint mark. Only 1938-40 issues bear the grapes privy mark like the coin posted, the earlier ones have the seahorse mark, and the 1944 issue bears the acorn privy mark.
It's struck in 0.720 silver, weighs 10 grams, 28 mm diameter, coin alignment and lettered edge. I'd grade this one XF with book value of $2.50
Coin #2
Austria 1 pfennig 1759 KM#2001
Obverse (with portrait of Franz I, which ruled along with his wife Maria Theresa in 1745-1765):
Reverse (crowned arms, date, denomination and mint master's or mint official's initials, "WI"):
It was minted in 1759, 1764 and 1765, and the 1759 and 1765 issues also had "HA" initials. There was an undated issue, too - according to the Krause catalogue.
It's struck in copper, has about 20 mm in diameter, plain edge, medal alignment.
This particular piece has a very significant defect which destroyed a part of the design. Otherwise, judging from the loss of detail, it'd probably grade Good with book value of $1.25
Coin #3
Austria 1/2 kreuzer 178X KM#2053
Obverse (portrait of Joseph II (son of Maria Theresa, ruled in 1765-1780 with her, and after her death - alone from 1780 to 1790):
Reverse (denomination, date and B mint mark which belongs to Kremnitz mint in Hungary):
This type was minted in 1780-83, 1790, but only in 1781-82 with B mint mark. The date is worn out, so it's impossible to say in which year this particular coin was minted in. It's struck in copper, weighs 3.62 grams, is 22 mm in diameter, has plain edge and medal orientation.
I got it from an estate sale in 2000, among a considerably large bunch of assorted world coins, both old and new. I'd grade it Good with book value of about $1.10.
