Number your coins, please, and crop the photo around the edges, it's very hard to see.

Trojak / 3 Grosze - Zygmunt III Waza - false
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22123.html

Denar, Hungary, Vladislaus II (1490-1516 - Ulászló) it is hardly possible to determine, is of no value, garbage.

​i did not flip them on their original photos so that i cannot answer why they ended up as such, that being said many thanks for all aid rendered.
Coin 1 is Kushan, weight and appearance look like an "elephant rider" coin of Huvishka. Some examples are on this page, though I don't see an exact match to your coin.

In future it would be best to start a new thread for each coin.

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces199765.html is the closest i find to mine on numista on the page you linked it seems to be a version of the herakles tetradrachm seing as it has the same (i think hindi symbol on mine as the one shown on the linked page just on the otherside)
Where was the Courland coin in the original post? And the counterfeit Poland trojak?

Those are both nice finds, even if not valuable in such low grade.

​I don't see the head of the Moor here. But Madonna is visible. And part of the lettering PATRON ...RON.
And a small letter h to the right of the figure (к - h).
It is impossible to determine the exact type, but it is hardly a Denar with a Moor.
@walter, As you see from the post before yours, the OP keeps changing the photos. He has a time stamp on his last edit shortly after I made that ID. The coin that I identified has the letters hVNGAR visible in the left photo, and the Moor's head rotated about 90 degrees in the right photo. A likely correct attribution for a coin the OP has pulled off the thread, so we can no longer discuss it.

@terrazone, PLEASE STOP CHANGING THE PHOTOS AND REMOVING COINS. This may serve your purposes, but as you can see, this makes the answers of members who are trying to help you look like nonsense to people who join the thread later, and it impairs the ability of others who come later to learn from the correct identifications posted here.

Please start a new thread if you want more coins identified.

​on side of the coin has a very uncannly similarities to the denar with a moor
Is there any variants with 2 heads? Or similair of this denar?

​"what variant" - it is impossible to determine, given that the coin is broken off and half of it is lost and it is very much worn. There are more than 20 species in the numist's catalog (Vladislaus II), but most of them have no photos. And I am sure that not all types are presented in the NUMISTA catalog. You need advice from a very narrow specialist in medieval Hungary, and it is unlikely to be free (knowledge is very expensive). But as I already wrote that this coin is not worth the time you spend on it. In Hungarian and Czech shops, I met lots of such coins (from 20 pieces or more) in the same condition at the price of the metal.
For the Lajos "Moor's head" denar, it is likely this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces103222.html

If you rotate your images appropriately, I think you will see it's a better possibility than the type I posted previously.

​actually its the one, the text practically alings and i can see parts of the cross on the back now make sense
Russian wire (number 3) is a Kopek of Peter I, not Ivan

​you have any idea which one of the many variants it is?
Maybe, but I wouldn't even try to find it without good, cropped and correctly oriented photos

Looking through the illustrations in Tye's book Jitals, your coin number 8 appears very similar to his number 167, tentatively ascribed to the Ghorids of Bamiyan, ca. 1200 AD. Number 7 is also very similar, so I would venture to think a similar attribution. Both show a horseman on one side and writing on the other.

A free .pdf download of the illustrations from Tye's book Jitals is available at
