Trying To Decipher Silver Dirhams

Hi again everyone!

I have an opportunity to purchase a lot of silver dirhams - but as is often the case, the seller is not particularly well informed regarding the mints/background info for the coins. As usual, neither am I at a glance. My hope is some of you amazing folks can take a look at a general pic of the lot and see if any of these coins are identifiable on their face, which would help me to assess whether it's worth getting the lot and ID'ing each individual coin.

Thanks for taking a look!

    I don't know for sure but those look like c1400 Golden Horde dirhams to me

    Oh I'm certain they are - I'm just trying to assess their legibility at a glance - something that I can't do myself without a TON of pattern comparison. It always amazes me how quickly some users on here can tell whether a dirham has, say, a mint and a date - the power of bilinguality and speciality!
