Today I've received four coins. One is obviously Tunisia, but the three are unidentified.

I hope some of you aren't seeing these for the first time

I'd request the following info: country, face value, year.

Upper left: Morocco 10 mazunas 1330AH (=1912AD) Y#29.1

Upper right : Egypt 20 para KM#244 1277/6AH = 1277 = accession year of sultan Abdul Aziz, 6 is the reign year, so the coin is issued in 1282AH or 1866AD

Lower : Turkey 5 para KM#666.1 1255/10?AH = 1255 = accession year of sultan Abdul Mejid, I am not certain about 10 as reign year (not certain about the 2nd digit). if it is this date, the coin was issued in 1848AD

Is this the regnal year?
According to my how-to-read chart this is a "20", it's hard to see it in the photos but it's obvious in hand.

That is indeed the regnal year. Much clearer on this picture.
You are right: it is 20. This makes your 5 para KM#666.3, struck on a thin planchet (2.5-3.3 gram). Year of issue is 1859AD.
