Though it scored over 30 views, no reactions. I guess they are a bit too far gone. There are some Khivan brass coins, but I couldn't make a match. They look too heavy also.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

The part readable on your 2nd image down looks like Bukhara to me, coin below reads zarb Bukhara,  other parts of your coins appear to show parts of "falus"

Thank you for your comments.
While looking for brass coins, Bukhara was indeed one of the rare options I have found.

Indian coins can be found struck in brass where normally it's listed as copper, I have dump coins of Jaipur, Bharatpur and several other states struck in Brass

Likely Bukhara  and the 2nd coin seems to be dated 978 AH.
The closest I found is this small one (14mm / 2,52g)
