Had it for a few years and only got to sort through it yesterday. Here is the result. 4 NZ silver 5 Australian 1 Fiji 1 Greek 1 South African 5 English and 3 USA The Canadian 5c and French franc in the top row are from my detecting finds.

Top row between the NZ Florin and the French Franc. Quite tarnished 5 cents Canada 1910. That and the franc are detecting finds that somehow got into the image. MK
