Actually you can play (if in a very inconvenient way) using only a
piecepack.  Counting all 24 coins and the 4 pawns and the 4 dice, you
have enough pieces (32) to play chess.  Use the dice as rooks showing 
the aces (red and black on one side, blue and green on the other), use
the pawns as kings and queens (colored the same as the dice), use
the 2's and aces as knights and bishops like Ron's way, finally use the
16 left over coins suit-side up as pawns (4 suns and 4 moons on the 
red/black side and the arms and crowns on the Blue/Green side.
