    Your top left coin is Parthian and of Mithradates IV-140 AD.
    That's all I know right now.

    The top center coin is almost certainly a silver drachm of one of the Bactrian Kings c. 200BC-100AD.The reverse is the givaway,It is Zeus on a throne with the Indo-script squiggly looking legends on the edges.The obv. legends are in Greek.Here are some examples.
