Nice trio Ivo. Could be Afghan, but this general shape also appears described as Persian (modern day Iran) and also is found described as North African and Arabian.
For those of us not familiar with the Euro, could you please gave us some measurements.

Hello Stu,

it isn't an Euro, think it's a Rubel.

Hi Ivo,

First one is Afghan, second one Arab and last one Omani.

Please notice that the cap of the second one is a thimble, Arabs used a lot European thimble for powder flasks and for the tip of their scabbards

Best,
Kubur

Hello Ivo,

so it's a Lev, never seen this coin before. I am aware that Bulgaria is in the European Union.

Detlef

Nice trio of flasks and bullet containers. I agree with Kubar on the identification. Rick.
