I bought a bunch of bulk silver coins in the Netherlands and I received a lot of 20 gram 925/1000 silver tokens/coins and I can't figure out who the mint is or what collection they belong to. I assume they are from a European Mint, but I could be wrong. I can't find any images like them on internet searches.
The Reverse side all say Official Commemorative Issue with a world symbol and then they each explain a particular world event. There is both English and French text.
The Front of the coin depicts that particular event.
The Side of the coin says Silver 925/1000 with a copyright symbol and JP (in a box) and 76 (in a box). Some of them also have a star followed by 181 Roma

Well I have 34 of them. 14 I found on this website. So I guess I should take pictures of the rest and then someone adds them to the collection here on en.Numista.com?
You can add them - that is how this site works, by member contributions ...
