It is, of course, impossible to be sure from a photo, but it is my definite impression that all are false.

The middle one is Roman, Gratian, GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse, minted in Thessalonica, and looks OK. I can't speak for the others.

The other two seem to be potin coins from Gaul.

The left one something like this:

http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=318825
http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=56064

The right one from the Helvetii:

Judged by the photo they don't look fake in my eyes.
