Hello I have here three worn older Islamic copper coins.
Can anyone offer some help to decipher or identify them?
Sorry I can't offer the diameter or thickness as my digital scales ran out of batteries.

Coin 1) Solved
Copper
4.5g


Coin 2)
Copper
8.3g


Coin 3)
Copper
5.6g


I will provide diameter info as soon as I find a fitting battery, but coin 2 and 3 are quite irregular.
These are probably not easy but I hope someone can help ID these.

I think the third is probably similar to this https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces68050.html

The first coin is ... very peculiar. It seems to be written in CORRUPT script - i can't make out anything. Can you post a better picture of side A ? Corrupt Persian is usually found on coins from South India and South East Asian states. The coin sort of reminds me Janjira
Island coins ?
EDIT: See joseph's correction below !
First one is very worn, maybe these pictures are better

Much better. But now i'm not even sure it was intended to ever be read ... I'm not even sure which side is up !

​Turn left image 90 degrees anti clockwise... and you'll see a horseman...

Didn't think it was a horseman.

no apuking.. not familiar with these coins.. couple of them look like Persian civic coppers.. I'll check the W H Valentine tonight and see if they are in there
Download Tye's Jitals, at least the catalog portion, which is now freely available from the URL below. I am certain you will find a match ;)

Hint: See pg. 19...
Thank you so much Quant.Geek
must be nr 240
It says Khwarezm and Qunduz so should it be catalogued in Numista under Iran or under Afghanistan?
Nevermind I found all information on the Dirham.

any ideas on the other two coins?

Seems to be civic coppers as Joseph indicated. I would check Krause first under Iran or Afghanistan (1800s). If not, check Valentine:

You can also try these two books from Valentine, but I don't know if you can download them as the copyright restrictions are a bit messy on Hathi Trust (it works for me):

Copper Coins of India, Volume I - http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951001035620w

Coin 2 I believe I had the wrong orientation,
I might dream but I believe I can see a standing man with bow and arrow
