7 different coins to identify

Hi all,

I have 7 coins I am having difficulties with. I have a general idea about a few, but not all.

The two Arab coins in the top row have the crest for the UAR, but the bird has 3 stars down its chest, not 2 as I can find.

The copper-nickel coin with the squiggly symbols on it has a stylized Asian lion on the back.

The Asian coin with the round hole has flowers surrounding a 4-point star on the back.

The smaller coin off to the left depicts Rama IX but I cannot figure out how to type any of the characters in with the special keyboard.

Any links you can provide to catalogues or just coin names/countries of origin should be a huge help.

Thank you!

Here are some better quality images that may help.

Thank you kommodore!! Do you know how to date the Pya? I wonder why they changed the UAR crest to have an additional star, but then in later years it has 2 and 1 again? 8.

[The order on these is different now, I just realized. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks again everyone for looking!!




Well it's very simple to date it:
Just search on internet myanmar numbers and the year is:1955.
This is the top left: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7633.html year 1962.
The second from top right is from thailand.
The one with a square hole appears to be a Japanese Mon? I cannot find this in the catalog. Does anyone know more about Japanese coins who can help? I do not want to add it incorrectly. See the link below for a picture of the identical coin.

Hell yeah I know Japanese money.

Here's your coin. It's C#1.2.

From the new pictures, the bottom middle one is this one. Oh and the bottom right one is this one. The last one is Siamese (Thai) and that's all I got cause I've got to go.

You're really lucky to have the Chinese cent (the one with the hole). Not only is it rare, the condition it's in is really something. It's hard to find it in the condition that you have it in, let alone actually finding the coin. You might want to worry because Chinese coins are counterfeited often so there's a small chance it's not real.

You're right, but I worry less about counterfeits in the 1 cent, bronze family of coins.

Thank you guys for the help!! I like filling in the gaps in my unknown coins.  :)

Aha you have no idea how many Chinese copper coins are counterfeited.

Probably a quarter of Chinese copper coins I've seen are fake. So I'd worry about it because that 1 cent is really valuable if it's real and you're lucky to have it.

How would you verify that it isn't fake then? Any tips for a noob like me?
Hehey you're not a noob!

Well check if it has green residue. Are the details on the surface crude, but unblurred? Does the edge of the coin have damaged rims and green residue?

If you don't have those, you probably have a real one. From what I see, it looks real, but I should double check.

Well, I had a PCGS authorized dealer in the area take a look at it last night, and he offered me cash on the spot. That makes me think it's real. :D
It looks real.

And it's certainly a rare coin. In fact I'd offer you cash on the spot too if I was in his shoes- it's worth 10 to 20 bucks.

Oh, he offered me more than that. :O

The price guide I read valued it at 50 to 75 in UNC condition, which this certainly is. I wish my scanner had higher than 1200dpi so you could see it.
Oh it looks VF-EF to me.

EF starting at $20.
