Don't know anything about them, really... are they genuine or fakes... which country/period etc. Any thought will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

To begin, they are Roman Imperial and appear to be genuine.

Yes I agree. I think they are:

Top left: Hadrian AE Drachm of Alexandria. Year 12 = AD 127-128. AVT KAI TΡAI AΔΡIA CEB, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / Nilus reclining left, holding cornucopiae and reed, hippopotamus at elbow right, Genius emerging from the cornucopiae and pointing at letters IZ in upper field, L DWΔEK (= Year 12) in ex. (Alexandria Milne 1267) http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/hadrian/i.html

Top right: Antoninus Pius (ANTONINVS AVG PIVS...). This coin looks silver, but has SC on the reverse, suggesting it isn't. It might be LIBERALITAS PVBLICA. Or not. http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.ant.538

Bottom left: Constantius II, VICTORIAE DD AVGG Q NN (Could do with a better/closer photo of the reverse to read the mintmark)

Bottom right: Gordian III FIDES MILITVM http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.gor_iii.1
