re: 19/2/09 matts question
Hi Emma, these are Israeli 1, 5, 10, 25 aqora coins and a 1 Lira coin. The writing and dates are in Hebrew. The designs feature oat sprigs, pomegranates, a date palm, a three string lyre and a menorah. They are likely worth a dollar or less depending on date, amount of wear and collector demand.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
