Greetings, I have very little idea what these coins are. I find them really beautiful and very much like to know what they are, and if they are valuable.
I'm really sorry about the photo quality, my old phone is acting up. I tried multiple times and this is the best I could produce.
Thanks in advance!
----EDIT---- 2 coins have been identified, added info
coin 1 - Bengal Presidency 1 pice (1815-1829) KM# 27.1
weight: 5,7 gr.
diameter: 2,5 cm
coin 2 - Jaunpur Sultanate - 1 Tanka - Nasir al-Din Mahmud Shah 844-861 AH (1457) BILLON
weight: 9,8 gr.
diameter: ~1,8 cm
coin 3
weight: 5,6 gr.
diameter: ~1,7 cm
coin 4
weight: 2,2 gr.
diameter: ~2,1 cm
coin 5
weight: 11,8 gr.
diameter: ~2,2 cm
group of silver coins
weight: between 2,1 and 3,2 gr.
diameter: from 1,9 to 2,2 cm
For best attribution results, it's a good idea to post only a small number of similar coins per topic, and for each coin to list the diameter in mm and the weight to the nearest tenth of a gram. For example, the group of five silver coins should be in its own topic. Placing a known coin next to the unknown one is not very helpful (am I supposed to look up the known diameter, measure the ratio to the unknown coin, and calculate its diameter?). I could help with some of them but am not willing to attempt it without diameters and weights, because those are required to search databases. It is possible that some of our readers will recognize some of the coins without this information.

Duly noted. I used the euro to help with the approximate size, not for any scientific analysis. I didn't think exact size and weight would be so crucial in ID'ing, since the coins are struck with old technique where size and weight is different for every piece. But I will post more info soon. But please don't make me dissect this into 7 threads:) I won't post so many coins in one thread again, but please let this one slide:)
Цитата: "Frenchlover"We request weight and diameter to be able to apply filters
So U might perform a first search by yourself with these filters :
1 Pice - Shah Alam II
thank you very much for your help ! I though this coin would be older, judging by the horrible condition.
I hope this great community can help me with the other coins too.
Цитата: "nucleus"thank you very much for your help !
I shown U the way to help yourself identifying your coins by using filters and providing better pictures
So use filters and if that doesn't work you might request further help on the forum, for exemple for the leaf coin (Sikh, Awadh, Bombay ?) ... Jaunpur

I looked for all the coins with the filter method and didn't find anything. I used ranges on weight and diameter too. Now what? Why is no one helping besides you?
Among the other coins, this coin will undoubtedly be the easiest to identify by a specialist, maybe a sultanate ?
You might send a message to Parimal with weight and diameter by "my account" "message"

Thank you Frenchlover, you've been very helpful since the start, I'm very grateful. I contacted Parimal let's hope he knows what's up. I tried to research the little flower on the coin, but haven't found anything. That flower (or star?) is a very distinctive design, could be quickly identified by a pro. The coin looks a little bit like Guyarat Dynasty, except the flower is missing http://numismaclub.com/unt/155645-guyarat_dynasty_in_india__sultan_ahmad_shah_ii__islamic_coin__arabic_writing.html
