First post here. Neat site!

I found these coins at a flea market the other day, just wondering if anyone knows what they are. The coin vendor told me they were silver. The only mark that I can find is k or x 1000. I paid $50.00 cdn for all six coins.

All the backs are the same as this one.

Thanks in advance!
Colin

You did a good job. I have never seen these before. Now, take them out and look at the side and make sure they say Silver or 0.999 or 0.925 Silver to make sure they are silver. They could be just silver plated. But if they are really silver, it should say on the side of the coin.
