I think so , they usually call them Temple Tokens or souvenirs.With possibility of they were also made to be sold to tourist as
ancient coins ..you know.
In big occasions or souvenirs , the event will be written on the coin.
In Arabic the form of the letter (I mean the kind of the
writing - there are too many - but for coins and souvenirs few kinds used only) can sometimes leads to the time was written , like before some certain time or after .
sometimes you can know if the coin is authentic or not from the kind of
writing on it.
As example some of Abdul Malik bin Marwan very early golden dinars
we would know them from the weak letter of kuffi كوفي kind used on them.
You are very welcome.
