I found another can of coins today, here's two pics front and back. My Grandmothers brother got these while travelling the world in the service in the 40s/50's. I tried finding these on the internet but didn't see anything. I'd like to know what they are and where they are from and possibly a rough guess as to a value. This can is full of strange coins (to me), there's about 50 or so. Thanks.

Thank you! I just realized I posted this in the wrong place, I'm not sure how to move it.
No need to report or remove it.
It's okay. But, yes we do have a world coin forum.

Thank you..
Did you try Google Goggles or something similar. They are very good at pulling up common coins like that.

I tried but with not much verbage I wasn't sure what to search. I did see an app that you can take pics and it does a search.
It's all good, thanks.
Yes, I'm taking about the image search function

I tried one app but it messed up my phone and took me days to get it back like I had it, it changed settings, etc. I don't remember the name of it. Do you have a recommendation of a good one?
I think @jmlanzaf is referring to https://images.google.com/
No app required.
Oh yes, image search, I didn't think of that. Thanks.
Yes. It's very helpful. This past Saturday, a dealer friend was struggling with a coin. He had Sorrento a lot of time and asked if I had any idea. I said "Central Asia but too many options. "
I did an image search, it came up with "1882 Kutch trambiyo". [It's an Indian princely state. ] It had the year and state right but it was off in the denomination because it couldn't tell the size but we found it in 30 seconds in Krause.
