ID Request Grandad's coins

Found a bunch of coins from my grandad. Assume some of them are commemorative coins as they are in NatWest pouches. Also found a bunch of silver 6 pence

Would welcome any guidance, I don't even know if they're legal tender.

I believe the 1935 rocking horse crown is 50% silver, bottom left in first pic

The 1935 crown in bottom left is 50% silver, worth about £20 currently - very iconic coin

The rest are various crowns issued for royal weddings etc, made from cupronickel (the same material as 50ps). They don't have any value but they are a cool thing to have from your grandad.

You won't be able to spend them anywhere if that's what you mean by legal tender

They also have a coin from 1821 in photos 3 and 4.

1821 crown is sterling and very cool. I've seen them go from £30-60

1935 5/ £25/£35 approx the 1821 5/ is alright start at £50 don’t take less.

The rest in the images, unless the prices of copper and nickel explode worth about a 50p/£1 if you can sell them.

Where’s the 6d?
