First one I have here has the date AH1223. Has a diameter of 18mm and is very thin. Has a weight of 0.83 grams and has a reeded edge.

This one is magnetic, diameter: 16mm, weight: 1.19. Has what looks like candelabras and a mirror. I believe this one is a token.

This one has no date that I can see, diameter: 15mm, weight: 0.43 grams. I think this might be a charm.

This one has the date AH1222. This is by far the smallest. Diameter: just over 10mm, weight: 0.22 grams

Tried looking in Krause for the 2 with dates. I have had no luck finding them. Photos were not touched up at all. Just cropped. The first and last one look like gold. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The second one is a Persian wedding token.

The other three appear to be brass novelty pieces, probably made as Kuchi coins meant for ornamentation (much like those worn by belly dancers).

Thanks for the help Numismat. The others do look like charms. They do have dates and that is what through me off.
