​Uhm... I'm afraid I can only recognize the topmost symbol of the first (leftmost) coin. It's "天" (tiān, tian in Mandarin, thiên in Vietnamese, see http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/charsearch.php?zi=%E5%A4%A9 ). Its main meaning is "sky", but may mean also "heaven", "day", "season" and lot of other. In this case, probably it's just the sound of a part of the king's name.

That known, maybe this page can help:

Or you can look for "Thien" in Numista itself (I tried and there are some results, actually. I don't manage to recognize any other symbols, but maybe you do: have a look!).

Hope this can be useful.

Let me know if you find something interesting!

Cheers,
Stefano
