    The coin on the top left is from Zanzibar, dated AH1299. Top right is an Egypt 1984 10 piastres.

    The one on the bottom left is an old Italian telephone token.

    Newsman beat me to the ones I knew.

    "Gettone Telefonico" = telephone token, and those have the year AND month in their date.

    Zanzibar I recognized. Used to be listed under Tanzania in the old Krause catalogs, but they might have given it its own section now.
