Welcome to Numista!

This is too many coins for one post -- it is too large a commitment of time and effort to look them all up. Unless of course you get lucky and someone extremely familiar with Indian coins simply recognizes many of them. In general I think you'd have better luck posting two or three similar coins per post.

I believe the first coin is a (low-quality) example of the famous “bull & horseman” jital from northern historical India (including parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan). Millions of these were made, generally between 900-1300 AD, by numerous rulers, in dozens of varieties. It is often difficult to determine the variety. Here are a few good good sources of information.

Coins 2 and 4 might be the same, but I don't know the attribution.

There are dozens of denominations of Indian coins so speculation about paisa or fractional paisa isn't very helpful. Probably most of these coins are not paisas or fractional paisas. Also most of these are not Princely States. Several are Sultanate coins.

While these coins are quite interesting and historical, and worth having in a collection, they are all relatively common so I wouldn't pay more than a few dollars each for any of them (especially if they are unattributed). Good luck to you!

you can also search yourself in Numista's catalog by diameter
go to Search coins - Advanced search - choose indian princely states from the issuer list - enter daimeter
14mm for example

Good idea, and you can also search Zeno by putting in a weight and diameter range

Thanks :)
India coins are very difficult for me, but I want to learn more about them.

Yes, I think Indian numismatics is more complicated than any other country's, and very interesting. There have been about 100 kingdoms and about 1000 rulers, many known only from their coins. There's a lot of fascinating history in the coins.

You might want to consider listing some of these coins at

http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/board,87.0.html

There are some very knowledgeable Indian numismatists there, who may recognize many of these coins.
I would recommend just calling them Indian coins and not mentioning Princely States or paisa, because most of them are neither of these.
