    Hello, I have this handful of coins sitting on my desk waiting to be ID’d and I was hoping maybe someone here could point me in the right direction.

    #1 reminds me of some Indian coins, #5 Morocco.
    #2-#5, I'm not sure of. Of course this is not even close to anything I collect. There is someone here in CT that collects these coins, but for the life of be I can't recall who it is.

    #5 looks a bit like a 1/2 dirham of the Ayyubid Sultanate
