Hi guys,

I recently got these coins, and they are proving hard to identify.

The top left coin is a 1692 Sweden 1 ore. All I can tell you apart from the diameter of the broken coin is 29mm (dated 157-), and the small ones are 16mm. They were shipped to me from Lithuania

Any ideas?

Thanks!
It would be easier to identify the coins if you upload pictures of both sides in better resolution. The broken coin is from the Polish-Lithuanian state.
I collect coins and tokens which circulated in Africa from 18th century to 2000. I sell about 7000 illustrated world coins from http://www.avscoins.com.

I will upload a photo of the other side when I have access to a decent camera. Thanks for the lead for the broken coin!
What I meant as pictures suitable for identification is something like this:
The coin in the picture is Billon Solidus from Riga under Swedish occupation 1653 (Christina reign). Two lower coins in your picture are probably the same.
It is also advisable to cut off background, like here


The coin on the left in the middle is probably a later Solidus also from the time of Swedish occupation of Livonia (1654-660) under the rule of Carl X Gustav

Andrey, you are awesome. thank you!!!
You are welcome!
Show the other side of the broken coin, the ruler's title should be there. It got me puzzled ...

Hey again!

I managed to get some better photos; I will not bore you with the ones 'we' have already identified but here is a pic of the other side of the broken one!



Not so much detail but a def 'NIA' and possibly a griffin with a sword???
This was a 1/2 Mark of Livonia 1573 from the period of Livonian war. You can read about it in Wikipedia

Before it was broken your coin looked like this

Here is a better picture (3rd coin down) and an interesting story. This coin was mint in Dole castle (in present Latvia) and used to pay the Parnu garrison
