Not my area of collecting, but it is for others here that should be able to help you.

@leitudraha, first welcome to CCF. Second, that appears to be a nice group of medieval silver pennys. If you could please post pics of each coin individually, that would help. With your current pictures, I am pretty sure that the right one is from Cologne. The left one also looks Germanic (maybe Cologne as well) and the middle one might be Spanish or something else. Better pics would help so that I can give you more details.

I notice that all three coins seem to have been holed in the same location. Can you please shed light on where these came from and whether they were all attached together? Finally, it is a small thing, but I'd recommend not placing them on a steel diamondplate surface as you could accidentally scratch them.

Hard to tell, but the obverse legend of the middle one might be CNVT REX ANGLOR - making it, I believe, Cnut of England.

Maybe a pfennig of Adolf I. von Altena, 1193-1205, for #3.

Bob L got the 2nd. Quite a scarce coin, even holed.

#3 is Archbishopric of Cologne; perhaps a pfennig of Adolf (1193-1205), with PATROCLVSI+NI on the reverse, surrounding a cross with a pellet in each quadrant; on the obverse, AD COLON, surrounding the bishop with staff and crozier. See Hävernick 901, etc. for similar examples.

#1 is also Archbishopric of Cologne in my opinion; perhaps a pfennig of Philipp von Heinsberg (1167-1191), see Hävernick 573, 582, 506, etc. for similar examples.
