Sorry, there's no surprise Christmas presents here.
Top two are Thailand; without the other side to confirm the specific types, I'm guessing the Aluminium-bronze 5 and 10 satang coins dated 2500 (1957). Thailand hasn't made very many gold coin types, and most of those use a different portrait to that one.
Next two are United Arab Republic, either Syria or Egypt. The left one looks like Syria 2½ piastres, aluminium-bronze, the one on the right looks more like the Egyptian 1 or 2 millieme, also aluminium-bronze. Neither UAR country seem to have issued gold coins featuring the UAR eagle.
The third row look like a pair of Peru 5 centavos, or perhaps the 10 centavos. Brass.
The bottom two are, I assume, Hong Kong 5 cents and 10 cents, pre-1980, nickel-brass. No Hong Kong gold was made with that portrait.
