A few years ago I made a similair topic but the pictures are gone and I dont know if these were identified.. I still don't know the heritage of these little hammered copper pieces so if anyone knows please share.

I bought them in Hampi India 2010 + 2013 probably from that area in the Vijaynagar era ca. 1336/1550. I like the kind of mystic feel to them, with the praying priest on 2 of them and a bull (worship) on another. The one left bottom I dont even know what it represents or means? Any clues?

First two seems like Vijayanagara to me, with Garuda not Vasudeva.

Bottom left may depict Vasudeva, bottom right looks to be of Mysore.

The link I sent, the books are scanned so the text is searchable, I would type your identifiers for coins and see what pops up.
