Hello Indian coin aficionados,

I've purchased some copper coins from Indian Sultanates, which were very imprecisely described by the seller (even their denominations were off most of the time). I tried my best to attribute them, but given a great diversity among these coins, am not sure how good a job I did. I would appreciate some help from Sultanate experts with this (just a shout out if any of these are grossly incorrect).
Thank you all in advance!

Good photos and descriptions.

Number 3 is correctly attributed. Here's another example, accounting for different dies

I think Number 4 is correctly attributed. Here's another example, differing in that it has a swastika. The symbols vary on these.

I think you are certainly in the ballpark with coins number 1 and 2, but was unable to find close matches in a quick look in Zeno.

Thanks, jbuck! I like how well they are preserved for 400-600 year old coins, too.
