Default 4 coins

hello Pappy - Hope you can help me out here. I made a different post about some coins I have had for some time. I have been busy all day identifying them with very good luck. I did run into 4 coins I couldn't identify. I'm sure 3 of them are from Islamic countries.... The1/2 franc I can't find anywhere.
No hurry.... just curious.
Thanks Pap'

Jerry

Front and Back coin 1 (above)

Front and Back coin 2 (above)

This is the 1/2 franc

Unknown (I could only get one side of this coin)

Thanks again Pappy!! I'm going to post the others I have shortly. All very interesting coins.

Beeeeeutiful Job Pap!!! I just broke out an old scanner I had in the closet and scanned all the others I have. I can now label these four.
I thank you very much!! I did find a site with Iraq coins but couldn't locate these 4. You The Man!!

Thanks again
Jerry

I know its not my place..bein a newbie and all , and i hope Ole'Pappy will forgive me but i just cant help meself ...my father worked out in Saudi Arabia for many years and i can tell you without doubt that coin 1 and 2 are definately Saudi coins.
They are identical to those in my collection which my Dad brought home each time he came home along with many banknotes from there , this was early 70's.

You'll see all 3 of your Saudi coins pictured here http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/Saudi_all.html

Cupro-nickel coinage was introduced in 1957 incidently.

The other coin is 99.9 surely a French 1/2 Franc , the laurels are correct as is date position but that was for the 1 franc , 1/2 franc had a different design from 1975.Oddly i dont see it listed on the worldcoingallery.com but if you compare it to a 1 franc you'll see the similarity.
