It's funny that person posting here has the Obv upside down
And with good reason as he can't make heads nor tails out of it
I say that because the CNG pics have the reverse upside down
Apparently they can't make heads nor tails either !
It makes me feel a lot less lonely .......
I would loose my mind trying to attribute these Medieval types

#3 may be a denier of Ferdinand I of Hungary. I see it's dated 1537.

@keith, wow, nice pick ups!

I wish I had an excuse to add one of those medieval Armenians, and that one is very nice. The 1537 denar isn't too shabby either.

The Cilician Armenian is a Tram of Levon I. There are many varieties depending on the type of Cross and the reverse.

Well, on #3 I will give it a shot, and hope that @eddiediz will come along and improve on it.

This Hungarian denar type with coat of arms and soveriegn's name obverse, and the Madonna (patron saint of Hungary) reverse is an iconic medieval-renaissance type for central Europe, running from 1468 to 1659 (coins bearing a date started in 1503).
At the time of your coin, the crown of Hungary was disputed between John Zapolya and Ferdinand I Hapsburg, the brother of Holy Romana Emperor CHarles V (it's pretty clear who had the upper hand by 1537).
