  The top coin is a John V Portugal coin, but it is well circulated, so the value is insignificant.
  
  The others I can't help you with except to offer suggestions as to the general area of country.
  
  The one in the lower right seems to be a Greek ancient coin.
  
  The one coin at the lowest center seems to be from India or the Middle East.
  
  I am not sure about the one on the left.

  Bottom 3 left to right: 1495-1521 Portugal copper ceitl; 1100s-1300s Islamic silver dirhem (pretty sure); c. 150-70 B.C Roman Republic silver denarius (if authentic-- some of the nicer ones have been copied, but it looks genuine from the picture)
  
  My guess of values... $25-$35 for the portugal, $30-$40 for the islamic silver, and around $50 to $65 for the denarius. VERY rough estimates, some may on here may differ.

  Unless its gold, the coin at the lower right is a (probably modern) copy of a stater of Alexander the Great. His name is in Greek lettering behind the figure of Nike on the reverse. Here's an example of a genuine stater currently on ebay.
