The coin on the photo is 18.5 mm (0.73") in diameter. And the eggs are ~40 grams (1.41 ounces).

Thanks all for the answers, I really appreciate it. These answers teach me a lot.
I wonder how many roos I got because if they are sex links I suspect this seller is selling mostly roos I will keep one roo for sure (I don't know local laws but I hear crowing every morning, so it's possible to...
