#1 VOC Shipwreck Coin
From 1726 to 1794, small change (Doits) was struck in Holland in Copper by the Mints of Holland, Westfrisia, Zeeland, Utrecht and Gelderland. They were not current in Holland, being used in the Dutch colonies including the Cape of Good Hope

#2 is a King George II copper.

The third coin... I can't find that unit of currency in the Kraus World Coin Catalog that early in the India section...  So I wonder if it's a fantasy piece.

As it says #3 is from the East India Company (also the East India Trading Company, English East India Company and then the British East India Company) which essentially ruled India during the period 1600 to 1858 by having the exclusive right to trade with the Indian sub-continent.

Here's one like yours on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com.my/RARE-EAST-IN...EXCELLENT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ370169710521

Like I said, I can't find the coins in the World Coin Catalog--and there appear to be many, many fantasy coins of the EIC out there.
