    These coins are Moroccan. Morocco has used geometric designs on many of their coins, and, somewhat uniquely, they write their Arabic dates in numerals we would recognize.

    The 1288 visible on one of your coins corresponds to 1871. You should be able to determine when the other coins were minted from there.

    Unfortunately, I can't determine the denominations and therefore the values of your coins, but most coins like these catalog for a couple of dollars or so.

    They appear to be 1, 2 and 4 falus. The problem is that there is some overlap in size between the denominations, i.e. 1 and 2 falus or 2 and 4 falus may have similar diameters. If you have a scale and can weight the coins, this will be much more useful.
