Yes, I'm afraid they are India... I am not good at that, but I recognised the coin with the cock and 1836 on it:
French India, denomination 'Doudou' KM 52  worth a good pizza.

Hi strelets

1. Balashahi paisa from Srinagar mint in Bundelkhand, struck by the Marathas in the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II (1759-1806), KM 176.

2. As Frans says, Doudou from French India, Pondicherry mint

3. Jital or falus of Firuz Shah Tughlaq, Sultan of Dehli, 752-790 AH/1351-1388 AD, struck in Dehli, Goron & Goenka D492

4. Paisa, Kashmir, Ranbir Singh (1857-1885), Srinagar mint [different city to 1], samvat date 1927(=1870 AD), Y 7

5. Kasu ('cash') from one of the south Indian states: I have seen this one with the flower on the obverse and a dished reverse somewhere, but I can't remember where at the moment.

Thanks Frans and Alan !

Alan, was Balashahi a province in India? I didn't find such province in Krause 18 and 19th century.

Hi strelets

No, 'Balashahi' was the name given to that particular type of paisa by the local population. According to Maheshwari and Wiggins in their 'Maratha mints and coinage' it was named after 'Balaji Pandit, the official in charge of the Peshwa's [the Maratha ruler's] mints in the area'.

In the 18th century Krause it is KM 245 under the Maratha Confederacy (p.565)
