Can anyone tell me about these medals?

These came in as part of a Darkside collection that I bought this week and I have no idea what they are or if they are worth anything.

Thanks in advance!

    The first is likely Austrian as that looks like Kaiser Franz Joseph I
    The second is from Finland.

    Thats the easy stuff which you probably already knew. image

    The third one is from the town of Semur in the middle of Burgundy area of France. The castle tower charged with a shield banded of gold and azure in six parts is the heraldic emblem of the town.image

    The last one is from the 47th National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic (otherwise known as the victors! image )

    You can see a similar medal from the 52nd Encampment of 1918 on eBay

    The first one is from Prussia & commemorates victories in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. Wihelm I, King of Prussia & German Kaiser is on the obverse. - Preussen

    The Prussian medal at top features a laurelled head of Wilhelm I, representing his victory in the Franco-Prussian War. The names around the portrait are scenes of victorious battles.

    Given the damage and overall worn condition, it's worth $3 or $4, although a specialist might pay a little more.
