Counting from the top:

1. This is not a genine coin. It is a "jewellery imitation" of an Ottoman gold coin from the mid-1800s, but judging by the colour, this one isn't made of gold.

2. It's Ottoman Empire, Constantinople mint, from the reign of sultan Abdul Hamid I (began in 1774). The other side is too blurry to give an exact date. An indication of size would help identify the denomination.

3. Kingdom of Hejaz - a precursor state to Saudi Arabia - copper piastre, dated 1334 regnal year 5 (AD 1919).

4. Ottoman Empire, Constantinople mint (Turkey), silver coin of Mehmed V, dated 1327 regnal year 2 (AD 1910). Again, the size would let us know the denomination.

@sap , thank you very, ver much so I have identified coin 3 correctly - good to know

Coin 1 - looking at the edges - it looks very similar in color to a golden ducat I have - Will it change anything in value if it "jellwery imitation" but actually made from gold ?

Coin 2 - I am posting a new picture ,diameter is 20mm

Coin 4 - Diameter is 24 mm

I am sorry Keith - thank you for your input. I thought to do it that way as not to clutter the forum with my posts. Since I still have questions about the coins should I delete this one and put them in new threads separately ?
