Somehow none of these strike me as (real) coins. The top middle totally reminds me of the Malaya and Brit. Borneo 1962 cent

I haven't seen design like that elsewhere. What's on the other side?

I believe that the first could be a token representing the sikh kirpan. You'll need to post pics of the other sides. If it's the same on the other side, they're tokens.

Yep, they're all southeast Asian (Malaysia and Indonesia, mostly) Islamic charm-tokens, similar in purpose though not in design to "Indian temple tokens". You will find examples with designs similar to yours on this zeno.ru page.
