    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Islam is a religion, not a country. Islam has never minted coins.
    Ask if they are Middle Eastern coins.

    While this statement is technically correct, the OP is not incorrect in referring to "Islamic coins", as Islam is also a culture. So yes, " Islamic coins" is definitely an acceptable term, just like "Western coins" or "Asian coins" or other general categories like that.

    Unfortunately Islamic coins are not my strong suit (nor is loading those images a strong suit of my little tablet), so I'm not much help.

    Except to say hey, cut the OP some slack.

    "Islamic coins" is a totally legit term.

    The last photo looks like a 1 Pice, Brittish India,Bengal Presidentcy KM#57, 1830.
    The second one looks to be from India also,it got that little knife blade in the middle. That first one may be too, and the research will hurt your eyes. You can look here.http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/India1.php

    The first one likely is a Seljuk Fals. Can not read the name of the ruler reliably in this state.

    The term Islamic Coins appears to be acceptable

    We never pass up an opportunity to tell someone they're wrong.

    Even when they're not. :D

    Did you see these coins in these books?

    I just used the books as an example. I don't know if they would reference your coins.

    In addition to the above texts, google-fu is occasionally helpful:

    http://ancientcoinsforeducation.org/docs/islamic_coins.pdf

    (not helpful to the OP, but does give a very brief description of what the term Islamic coins encompasses). Not an area I know too much about, but certainly have noted on plenty of dealer websites, with Stephen Album coming to mind first.
