    Can anyone point me in the right direction with any of these? All are 18 to 20mm across and around 4mm thick. (Any we can't get here I will try elsewhere, but I hope to knock off most of them first.)

    The two left rupees are from Shah Alam II of Jodhpur.

    Thanks @scottishmoney - that's great! I get to Krause KM# 276 - Jodhpur Feudatory Kuchawan - Shah Alam II, 1759 to 1806AD - is that what you had?

    Just the other 3 to find now.

    I am believing the others are from Jodhpur, different era but not sure. I happen to have a passive interest in Indian coinage and have a small collection of them.

    I believe that the one on the right is Jodhpur Feudatory Kuchaman date CE 1863.

    Thanks @willieboyd2 - that works - K#20.12, 1863 AD in the name of "Victoria Inglistan"!
    Anyone with any more ideas on the middle two? I can't spot them in Jodhpur so far.

    The two items in the middle top and bottom are not coins but temple tokens.

    Temple tokens are sometimes copies of coins with parts of the legend changed. They are usually made of base metal, not silver.

    The date on the bottom one is AH 106x where x can be 2, 3, or 4, and some of the legend is "Shah Jahan".
