Hi! Can you help me identify these 4 coins?

Top Left:
25-26mm diameter
4.3mm thick
12gram weight

Top Right:
27-28mm diameter
4.8mm thick
11.6gram weight

Bottom Left:
31-32mm diameter
4mm thick
12.9gram weight

Bottom Right:
32-33mm diameter
6.5mm thick
23.5gram weight

All non-magnatic, sounds high pitch when tapping against other coins, so I believe bronze?

@mav, first welcome to CCF. Second, I'd be interested to hear how you came upon these pieces. To my eye the mushy details, off-metal composition, and odd abrasions on the edge make these all look like fakes.

Thanks! On our trip to Greece/Istanbul in 2002 my dad bought them. That's what I've been trying to determine, I've looked at lots of photos of these types of coins and they all seem to be different so hard to really get a sense of what is real or not.

Also, doesn't seem like there is much value even if these were real, so it seems odd they would fake them, but anything is possible.

Let me know if these side view photos work -- this could be helpful for others in the future.

It seems like any coins from Morocco on ebay are like these and fake. So it makes sense where they were obtained from. Sorry, there is a a group that makes them and they always look like this exactly.
