I cannot read Arabic so I have literally no idea about attributing these coins more than the generic period - time of al'Mu'izz li-Din Allah (953-975) and al'Aziz Billah (975-996) and the general area - the North African coast, with the most common mints at the time at al-Mansuriya and al-Mahdiya. 

They are two halves and two quarters:

- half dirham 17x15mm 0.95g

- half dirham 17mm 1.04g

- quarter dirham 14mm 0.63, is this al-Mansuriya similar to this: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7324634

Is ruler, mint identification and year identification even possible in these cases?
