#1 looks like the portrait of Hadrian but with all the text on either side curiously missing, I can't be sure. I presume the armoured being on the other side is the goddess Minerva.
#2 looks like a IOVI CONSERVATORI follis of Constantine I, but in the wrong metal - it's not supposed to be silver.
#3 is definitely fake. It looks like it was copied off a picture of a coin, and not from an actual coin, and the inscriptions are full of errors.
#4 looks like a Roman Provincial from Alexandria, in the name of Vespasian. The reverse appears to be Nike. I can't tell what metal it's supposed to be made of, and I'm really not liking the green tinge around it - that doesn't look right.
#5 is another Egyptian provincial, this time a tetradrachm of emperor Trajan. The design elements on this one look particularly weak, as if cast.
