more darkside stuff i cant identify LARGE PICS

aballein

been searching through my friends coin collection and i found some more that i would like help in identifying and putting a value to. I know they are probably worth next to nothing but i would still appreciate any information you guys may have.. A specific question about the side by side ones...they are identical in every aspect except for the one on the left, it has the numbers 45 where the other has some crazy writing, im most curious as to why? The last 2 coins pictured are aluminum i believe.

Top coin is a 1-baht from Thailand, I believe. (I mean I believe it is a 1-baht- I know for sure it is from Thailand). I will have to let somebody else date it for you.

Next is a 50-ore piece from Sweden. (Sverige=Sweden).

The flowered coins are modern Japanese 100-yen pieces.

Then you've got another Thai piece, and an Austrian 10-groschen (Osterreich=Austria).

The Japanese coin on the left is dated Showa 45 (1970), and the one on the right is dated Heisei Gan (1989). "Gan" means first, and traditionally Japanese coins are dated Gan in the first year of an Emperor's reign.

Since Hirohito died on January 7, 1989 there were a limited number of coins produced that year with the Showa 64 date, and the great bulk of the year's coinage has the Heisei date of Akihito's reign.
