Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I believe
all 4 are counterfeits. Probably gold plated.

Umh, I think there is actually a good chance that the 1903 Qaeda nd 1911 are actually jewellers pieces, however image isn't the best to make out if there are or not.

The two 1880 ones are definitely fakes. The 1903 one appears to be as well. I can;t well about the 1911 one, but given its association with three other coins that are fake, I would be skeptical.

Just because they are fakes, does not mean they are not made of real gold. It is common in the Middle East to make "jewellery copies" of gold coins out of solid gold, perhaps weighing slightly less than the genuine coins, or being slightly less fine.

You would need to get them tested, but perhaps weigh them. If they weigh about the same as a genuine sovereign (7.98 grams) then they probably are made of gold.

You mean that last one isn't the famous DIE GRAT error?
