My friend got these coins, we need some help to identify these coins, any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: My opinion is that they are Hungarian coins, but not sure, Bela, Arpad ?

Don't like them. They all look of the same manufacture to me!
Still, I am very much interested in an id for them.
I must emphasize I am NOT, by any means, an expert with these.

Not an expert but my first impression was that they are cast fakes.

They look too thin to be cast (to me anyway)
Not much profit in faking these early Hungarian types....

I am not an expert on medieval coins either so my comments are just speculation. As a group, the 8 pieces with crosses on them are far more circular and well centered than the similar examples of 12th and 13th century Hungarian coins pictured on the page that andyg linked. That doesn't make them fakes but it is suspicious. Rather than being fakes intended as counterfeits, it's possible that they were intended to be replica coins for tourists. Without seeing the other sides of these pieces, it's impossible to say whether the obverse and reverse patterns are matched similarly to those of the real coins from andyg's link.
