The first one in the top middle is Mexican, that's for sure other than that I don't know what it is. Hopefully someone else comes onboard to tell us exactly what they are.
Rest in Peace

Top right is a pysa from Zanzibar, dated AH 1304, I believe.

On the bottom piece I can see a part of the legend, "LIBERTE, EGALITE", which points to France, and non-regal one, i.e. not exactly ancient. But I cannot find any match.

I don't know, now I'm seeing AH 1299 on the Zanzibar pysa. The easiest way to distinguish them is to look at the obverse. Here are the pics from the World Coin Gallery.

So I see that I got all for like a quarter from a flea market by me. Most of the time I stick with US coins because I know about them and I know what they are made of, but if I find one that looks old i'll grab it
