Two right hand pieces.

Top is Turkish 20 para Galata Bridge passage token. Due to a shortage of small change, they became de facto money. Around 1920s IIRK.

Bottom right, just google imitation ottoman. i.e. belly dancer coins.

Also, top left Rev: looks like Charles Hawtrey from the Carry On films.

Thanks.

Top left is a stage prop from Carry on up the Khyber? Wishful thinking maybe.

I'd guessed the bottom right wasn't genuine given it is the same on both sides.

Do you have size and weight for each?

no.2 - 4.77g, 22 dia

no.4 - 0.55g, 15 dia

no.5 - 2.66g, 21 dia

The first is a bit like bronze, the other two brass.

All three give the impression of being tokens or similar.

I dont think they are coins as there is no obvious denomination.

Maybe the start of a new collection, middle eastern bus tokens?
