  1. I think Amarmur is on the right track.It looks like a Lithuania schilling John II Casimir Vasa KM 50 1660or1666. 0 and 6 look alike on those coins.They are also listed as Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth 1/3 grasis by other cataloguers.Good spot Amarmur
  2. I think your coin can be found in Corpus Nummorum Italicorum (there are a number of volumes).You can find a free online version at Numiswiki and probably elsewhere.It is on page 277 no159 The legend has the same spacing as your coin . There is a dot after the first A (might be off the edge or worn off) If you never been to the Corpus it’s hard to navigate but worth a trip.There are multiple variants of your coin type.Hope this helps.
  3. I think it might be a match up for Caracalla SNG Levantine 743 Seleucia ad Calycadnum Cilicia 198-217 AD
  4. The Cuenca mint mark star above chalice is to the left on the lion side.
  5. I think what you have is from India Nagas of Padmavati 240-350 AD. You can have the fun of determining the ruler from the legend on the reverse. Hope this helps.
  6. In pre Internet days you used to be able to purchase these what I would call exotic coins for a couple of dollars .Most of the time they were not attributed to a specific ruler or date range. My go to reference was "Price Catalogue of Ancient Coins Of Ceylon by T.M. De Silva Abeywardene published in 1952 41pages, 10plates. The Plates are crude compared to the beautiful photos of the above posters. Prices were outdated. This small paperback has its own charm and served me well as I collected these interesting coins. Kandy got it's name from the anglicized version of Sinhala Kanda Uda Rata (meaning the land on the mountain )or Kanda Uda Pas Rata( The five countries on the mountain).
