#1: Turkey 20 para, dated 1327 Year 5, translating to 1913.

#2: Iraq 10 fils 1931.

#3: Saudi Arabia 1 ghirsh, dated AH 1356 (= 1937 AD)

#4: Hejaz and Nejd 1 ghirsh, AH 1344 (= 1925-26). Hejaz & Nejd changed it's name to Saudi Arabia in 1932. This date is not listed in my 2006 Krause. It's on Numismaster under "Saudi Arabia / Hejaz & Nejd" as KM# 6.

But thai-vic has a point, which I meant to mention but forgot: the reeded edge version of #3 - though it bears the "1356" (1937) date, it was actually struck in the USA in 1947. It's hard to be certain, but I think I can make out the edge reeding in the scan.

Under the toughra, where is often is on Turkish coins. I can;t see it completely clearly either, but it looks most like a small O shape - which would be an Arabic 5.

They ask me to help ("Pls help ..."), but I'm always happy to defer to the experts. About all I can do is read the numerals and compare the coins with photos in Krause and "World Coins", but thanks for asking anyway, lol.
