Thanks to everyone, I only have the Spanish Cob (#2) left to identify.


Thank you for your help, Nathan.

ottoman (Turkey)
AH1143 (1730AD)
regnal year: not really clear
Constantinopel mint
something like this:

The Walking Liberty Half appears to be a 1918-D, but it is also listed as rare, which I find funny. There are no "rare" dates for that series, there are "better" dates i.e. 1916-P/D/S, 1917-D/S (with mint-marks on the obverse), 1921-S, and 1938-D. And there are also "key" dates i.e. 1921-P/D. However, all dates in that series are readily available, so there are no "rare" dates.

P.S. Your coin is worth a small premium over melt.

​That looks very close, I think mine looks a little closer to THIS coin. The, text, for lack of a better word, is closer to the edge.
1 is a 1944 UK florin (0.500) Also worth a little over melt.
Yours has clearly dat AH 1143:

The thougra looks very different too (other side of the coin)
Know that many varieties exist

​Yes, I know that. I was wondering about grade. AU, UNC?

Petrus, what do you think about this coin? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57571.html
The mintplace in the link is Misr (Egypt)
Yours is minten in Constantinopel
Looks more like this:

OK. Thank you for your help. Whatever you were trying to show me didn't work though.
Sorry for that.

Up. I still have the spanish cob to be identified. Thanks, Nathan.
As previously mentioned, Spain sounds good as there are some 8 Maravedis - Felipe III/IV files matching with your coin.

I think it might be 2 maravedís from Carlos II.
