Mods, you may want to kick this over to the Ancients/Medieval section to get more eyes on it.

The top set may be solidi of Constantius II. I'll let others comment on authenticity. Some background from the OP would help: provenance, for example.

The second set of gold is Axumite. Showing both sides would help.

It's best to post one or two coins per thread, it's difficult to see the detail otherwise. I would like to see some close up pictures. If the Solidi bare real they are valuable. The Axum coins even more so.

The fact that they aren't die matches is a good sign; a valuable little collection. I'm not so sure about the silver coins though.

The axumite coins are indeed more valuable than the roman coins and much rarer too. Could we see the other sides?

All of the coins shown seem to be types expected in the poster's homeland. By coincidence, there is a paper by Amelia Dowler of the British Museum in the Autumn 2018 Journal of the Oriental Numismatic Society entitled 'The Interaction of Aksumite and Roman Gold Coins in South Arabia in the 6th Century CE' (pp. 5-20). It should appear online eventually either at www.orientalnumismaticsociety.org or https://britishmuseum.academia.edu/AmeliaDowler.

I might be able to identify the Islamic coin if a photo of the other side can be added.

I hope this collection was not rare because I was not able to save it and it was sold by the collectors to someone else,
Thanks a lot kush and ben for your comments much appreciated, j will surely read the study to enhance my knowledge, I am just a beginner with passion. Can anyone estimate the market value of this coins if they are tradeable? During my search about them I found number of websites selling similar coins.
