I picked up quite a few random world coins last weekend at a coin show. Most of them were mixed in a cigar box at 6 for 1 dollar. There were four of them that I could not identify. Here are pictures of those four. Does anyone here know what they are?

Thank you for the info Steve. How did you figure out what they were?

I have similar coins to these, in my collection, so I knew what countries they were from.
Then I just used Numista.com to pinpoint the right coin. Three of them had dates, that I
could read, already on them, so just had to work out the Ethiopia coins date.
Here's a few websites I use to help find the coins and values...

This one is great for working out the dates...
