Any help pointing me in the right direction for identifying these coins would be greatly appreciated!

Indian coinage is vast and I cannot read Arabic/Persian so ugh good luck bro.

Oh and your Soter Megas is an excellent superb example.

Thanks so much Ancientnoob! Based on the info you supplied I found your posting here: https://goccf.com/t/133273
and read more about it. Yours looks in much nicer condition than mine :-)
These are my first coins of such age, would these be best kept in 2x2 holders or is there a better (but still budget) way to store/display them?
Again thanks for the great information!

Top row centre: this is a copper half-rupee, or "deb", from Bhutan. worldcoingallery example.

I believe the top-left coin is older than the other three, a base-silver coin from the pre-Mughal Sultanate of Dehli.
