One of the coins is a bronze of Kanishka II and is in fairly decent condition too compared to what is available on Ebay.
Coin 3 might be a falus of Shah Shujah Durrani as it is dated to 1216AH and possible has a kaf and alif?

I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on this.

​Yes it make it Falus of mint: Kabul.
These are my close guess:

01. Kushan Empire of Ruler: Wemla Taktu
02. Kushan Empire of Ruler: Kanishka II

Sorry 1219AH, the last digit is a 9 in Arabic numerals

That would make it 1804/5.

Shah Shuja Durrani had two reigns as his predeccessor overthrew him once in 1809.

He first reigned from 1803 to 1809 and then 1839 to 1842.

I am confident with this identification now and Kabul mint does fit considering that the capital had shifted from Kandahar to Kabul by this time.
