    I believe the larger ones are Tibetan, the one with the lion & sword is Persian (Iran).
    We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.

    The final small piece is Polish or German States (Brandenburg). 3 Groschen?

    Here is a reference for the Tibet Tangka coins:

    Oriental Numismatic Society, The Gaden Tangka Of Tibet, N.G. Rhodes
    http://gorila.netlab.cz/coins/Tibet/ONS_TangkaTibet.pdf

    The middle Tibet coin looks like his type D obverse 3 reverse 2, probably minted around 1912-25 at Dokde (Dodé Valley) near Lhasa.

    The right Tibet coin looks like his type B obverse 2 reverse 2, probably minted circa 1870-75 at Dod-pal in Lhasa

    Added Sept 30 2016:
    The pdf link was working on Sept. 28 but appears to be down today.
    The left (dark) Tibet coin also looks like his type B obverse 2 reverse 2.

    Yeah the lion with the sword is Persian. I think it is Iranian, as mentioned.

    Yep. The lion with sword is a dead giveaway for Iran/Persia, and I am pretty sure it is still featured on the modern, post-revolution coins as well.
