Some ID help please, Iran, Thailand, ?

I recently received some coins as a gift from a friend, and I have 4 that I could use some ID help on. Three I know the country but don't know the year, the fourth I don't even know the country.

The first is from Iran, I am sure of that. I looked in the Krause book but wasn't able to determine exactly which coin I have here. They list one that was a one year type and one that ran several years, and look pretty much if not exactly alike in the book- so much so that I wonder if they ran the same image twice. I think the date is on the very bottom of the reverse but the coin is so weakly struck I can't be totally sure.

The next two come from Thailand. I've studied the guide in Krause and I cannot figure out how to translate these. I don't know what year or denomination they are.

I don't know where this one is from. I don't even know where to look. My guess is either Japan, China or Taiwan but it's easier to ask for help than drive myself nuts image I don't know country, year or denomination. I don't even know if I have the images right side up, to be honest.

As always, thank you in advance and sorry for being able to provide only scans.

    This one is from Taiwan, is in the dollar denomination ca. 1961. It is an obsolete coin, but still redeemable.

    The top Thai coin is a 50 Satang coin dated B.E. 2500 (1957) but they didn't change the dates on these each year. I can't read the bottom coin from the image provided.

    Sounds like it's worth face value?

    Thank you for the help! two down, two to go!

    I'm a real collector...the only "value" I care about is the one printed on it...it's going to stay in my collection for the rest of time...unless I get one in a better condition. And even then it'll probably still stay with me, and I've only ever been able to pull of one trade in 7 years of collecting.
