coin with center hole is: 26mm, 4.1 grams (I would guess is made of silver)
small (but thicker) copper: 20mm, 10.95 grams
copper coin with animal: 25mm , 5.8 grams

Thanks in advance!

If I read the date right, the top coin is a Paisa fram Indore dated VS1944 (1887).
Doubt very much that the Chinese coin is silver, seems to me highly polished brass.
It is a coin from Emperor Shih Tsu (1644-1661), with the reign title "Shun-chih". Krause has it as KM#297 and while slighly more expensive than other coins of the Ch'ing Dynasty it is still quite common and cheap.
The third is most likely an Indian copper coin, would like to see a better picture before saying more.

Thank you for your response Medieval.

I didn't know brass when polished like that revealed that silver color metal. Interesting but I think you are right.
