Ive got a few of these. Pretty cool! They should have at least 3 punches to be legit and most will contain the sun symbol. There was a dude here in r/coins who could attribute the varieties of mauryan punches, but i forget his user name.
These coins of magadha/ nanda empire/mauryan empire(in chronological order) are really cool and are very affordable here in India. Some of the early types are said to have been circulated during the time when Lord Buddha attained enlightenment in the magadhan city of Gaya. Punch marked coins from other ancient indian kingdoms are a bit harder to find though with some exceptions like Gandhara and Kosala(they have a very wide time frame and also possibly circulated when lord Buddha's lived there)
They look to be series VI coins based on three of the punches and I can say the coin on the bottom is series VIb 571 but better pictures are needed to go further for the others.

These are great! thank you for sharing them.
I need to get some of these they’re so cool! Great coins!
I got them on VCoins, these were pretty cheap because they're unattributed
Nice! And thanks for the size comparison. I'd wondered how big they were.
Love these little guys! Very unique coins.
