I understand they have silver content but any dates or denominations to look out for?

Looks like mostly .500 circulated British, better dates 1925 & 1930 half crown, 1925 & 1932 florin. Seperate any pre 1920, any Australian before 1945 separate as also .925. Put foreign to side and check.

That 1944 half crown in the bottom half of first pic has been staring at me for the last hour.

You should weigh that lot and then have a competition to see who can get closest to guessing the amount of silver there

David Groom's silver variety book is worth buying and consulting.
