Various minor denominations (e.g., Follis, Nummus, or smaller copper units, depending on origin). Specific denominations are difficult to determine without clearer images of individual coins.

Likely a coin from a Persian or Islamic dynasty; potentially a 'Shahi' or similar denomination, though specific identification without clear inscriptions is difficult.
