Hello, saucer, and welcome to the forum.
The value of a coin depends greatly on its condition. Pictures would be a big help for us.
For example 1664 two guineas ranges from 450 to 4,000 pounds depending on the condition and variety (some have an elephant under the head of the king, some don't).
Charles I's gold crown is from 150 to 700 pounds.

Your best bet for finding out values of relatively scarce coins like those is to trawl through prices realised from auction houses, both the online and brick-and-mortar types. CoinArchives used to be an excellent one-stop website for this, but you now have to pay an exorbitant fee to see auctions more than 6 months old. It's still useful enough for some of your purposes; there's 17 of the Tabora 15 rupien listed there at the moment. But the Richard II gold noble and Charles I gold crown don't quite have a match, while that particular date of double-guinea isn't listed. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

flyingsaucer: You say you are new to the numismatic world. The coins that you have are usually acquired by someone who a great interest in numismatics.
I guess that there is quite an interesting story behind these. I would say that it would make an enjoyable read.
