Help Identifying: 3 Medieval Silver Pieces

Hello, fellow numismatists,

I posted recently another "Help Identifying" thread and am back at it again.

I am struggling with identifying the leftmost coin here, so I laid out three silver coins next to it for scale (kidding). Seriously, I cannot figure out the identity of any of the three silver coins. I think they are Hungarian, Polish, or something similar because the lot from which I purchased the pieces contains mainly coins from those locations and a few Spanish pieces, too. The one on the far right seems the most worn with only two six-pointed stars visible. If anyone could offer assistance, that would be great! Perhaps their wear has rendered them unidentifiable.

There are still more coins from this lot, all battered quite badly, that I may be posting soon. Thank you for any help with these and for all the help in my past posts!

Merry Christmas!

I'm not big on medieval coins so don't quote me on this, but the one on the left looks like a Polish 1/2 grossus.

 

@YoloBagels I think you are on the right track. The design of the crown on the coin that I have seems far more rudimentary than the coin in the photo that you posted. I will look into some earlier Polish pieces. Thanks for the thought!

 

I think the one on the left is Hungarian based on the Patriarchal Cross (see if the side with the cross says “REGISVNGARIE”). Not so sure on the other two

 

@FitzNigel I originally thought that coin on the left was a Hungarian piece with a patriarchal cross, too. I am not able to make out most of the legend on the coin, but it looks almost like "REGI" running down the righthand side. Does that first letter at about 2 o'clock look like an "R" to you? Also, I tried looking up "REGISVNGARIE," but I could not come up with a coin that has that legend. Which coin are you thinking it might be, FitNigel?

I appreciate your response!

 

For anyone sitting in complete suspense as to the identities of the above coins, I believe the far right coin is attributable as a Denar of Ladislaus IV of Hungary from 1272-1290.

Here is a picture I pulled from Numismaclub for reference that seems to be the same coin. The coin below seems to match the rightmost coin from the second picture I originally posted:

Does anyone have any idea if the middle coin has Arabic writing on it? I found some Hungarian coins with Kufic or Arabic script, so I am not sure if it may be one of those types.
