These coins look like they could be from some Indian Princely States.
The 5 Rupees coin is absolutely worth collecting. I have seen several modern off center Indian coins, but this one is one of the most extreme ones.
If you wanted to sell it, I think you should get around 100.00$ but I would recommend to keep it.

They are indeed Nawanagar coins."Jam" written in devanagari script is clearly visible on the bottom picture of the third coin.
