Well, coin6 is a Meiji one yen from Japan, 27 grams .900 silver. Not sure of the year, but late 19th cent.
Coin 1 is a medal. Coin 2 is Indian, probably Mughal. How big is it and what does it weigh? Coin 3 - not sure. Perhaps Tibetan but it looks fake. Coin 4 - India, Alwar State Rupee 1880 Coin 5 - Again, India, how big and what does it weigh? Coin 6 - Looks nice, Japanese Yen and sorry cannot read date because my coin books are away and it's nearly bed time.

I use eBay results, Heritage Auction results (www.ha.com) and the NGC World Coin Price Guide (http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/World-Coin-Price-Guide.aspx) to get some idea of values of coins.
Here's some information regarding coin 6 http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f...ing/2013Kookaburra/Coin 6 003_zps0392e069.jpg Extract is taken from, 2010 Standard Catalog of World Coins ISBN-10: 0-89689-815-6
I wonder if the medal (1) is from a masonic chapter. Has a real masonic feel to it and MC intertwined may be a clue
