The two with the toughra are .7 gram, the other (Indian?) is .6 gram. Roughly 14-15 mm. I swear I can read a date of 1200 on the Ottomans, but that is not a regal date. Any suggestions?

The one on the left is a copper jewellery replica of an Ottoman Turkish gold coin.

I suspect the one at top and the one at bottom are the same coins, even same date - just the one at top is more heavil worn. It is holed in the same way as the jewellery replica, so I suspect it may have been gilt at one stage, too. They are Ottoman Turkish copper 5 para coins.

The accession date on these two coins is 1255 - the eastern Arabic numeral for "5" looks like a Western "0". The regnal date for the top one is 16, I believe, with the bottom one regnal year 14. Those dates convert roughly to AD 1852 and 1854.
