I received the following 3 coins.

3-Very-Small-Coins-Possibly-From-Middle-East
3-Very-Small-Coins-Possibly-From-Middle-East

I thing the language on them is Arabian. However it must be a very old scrip since on one coin (the one in the upper right) it look almost like Chinese. Can somebody identify them?
Thanks in advance.

Just a few ideas:
1 (the big copper one) - I think I see Virgin Mary upside down and an eagle, so it might be Hungarian
2 (top right) - the star of David, so it is most likely from Israel
3 (bottom one) - too offstruck to be sure, but it is probably Ottoman

hidden- I agree that the top left coin may be Hungarian, but it is probably from around the 17th century (just a guess though). The top right is probably from Morocco since they use a star of that design, but also because on the reverse I see Nasx script (the script used in Arabic & Farsi & etc)and not the script used for Hebrew.
