Seller is right, they look authentic, and from India. These could date anywhere from about 1000 AD on up to 1900 or so, and they are a PAIN to ID, I have done it before with the old Krause Catalog of Indian coins.

The work "The World of Islam, Oriental Coins and their Values" by Michael Mitchiner would be helpful id'ing some of these coins. There is a section about Moslem India. Unfortunately I don't have mine close to me.
