The diameters vary from 15-16mm. I'd rather not puncture the flips but I'd estimate weight at about 4.5g each. To me they look like variations of the same issue, but I can't find that issue in Mitchiner after much comparison. On one I see numbers 134; on another I see an evident zarb, but I can't make out where that says it was minted.

Good solve, andyg. Here's a picture from Zeno
Zeno - Oriental Coins Database - Herat 1306 AH, AR Qiran
The 134 may mean AH 1304, because on the Zeno coin it says the zero is missing in its date 13(0)6

That makes sense about the dates. Krause comments on blundered dates in this issue. I see one from 1304, one off the flan, and one from 1307.
At least now I can stop repeatedly going through MWI to see what I missed. Thank you!
