    If these are copper/bronze,a couple may date back to just after the Crusifiction era and would be "widows mites" ,athenticated the prices vary from a couple of dollars to ..... $25.00( a guess).They were quite common.They start as larger coins and are shaved or clipped as the transaction warranted.Some retail was paid for in weight of specific coinage this way.The other coins with writing on them are of later dates and are essentially the same "type" of coin,shaved or clipped larger coppers.Prices would be around the same.Because of the random pics and wear,these types of coins have been counterfited over the centuries and that has kept the prices low.Interesting fun pieces to have but a pain to research.

    I'm not an ancient coin expert, but those look byzantine to me. They used Jesus on their coins and the third one down looks like it's religious symbolic.
