Do you know what some of these are and if they are real?

You'll probably get more info with larger pics of each coin, posted to the ancients forum.

What 'DVCollector' said.
Plus, best to show one coin per topic and with both sides.
Make the picture as clear as possible and without wasting much space around it.
And if possible include size (diameter) and weight.

I've moved this thread and the other thread of yours to the Ancients forum for you.

As for the answer to your question, I believe the answer is "yes" - I know what some of them are, and some of them are, quite probably, real.

The two small silver Islamic pieces at 10 o'clock and 3 o'clock are, I think, Emirate of Sind small dirhams - quite old (circa AD 800 - 1000) but nevertheless fairly cheap. Better pics of both sides might help identify them further.

The two silver-ish ones at 5'oclock and 7 o'clock appear Bactrian, or Indo-Greek. These coins are, like the Bactrian coin in your other thread, commonly faked; these small pictures do not give me great confidence that those two are genuine.

The two bronze (?) ones at 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock and the square one in the middle are either Indo-Greek or Kushan, I think.

I have no idea what the one at 9 o'clock is.
