Welcome to Treasure Net !!
The small coin on the left, left pic, appears to be upside down. Can you take another pic with that coin turned 180 degrees and pics of the other two coins from a different angle; hopefully more letters will then appear.

One of your coins shows a soldier spearing another individual. The victim is usually described as a 'fallen horseman'. You can read: FEL TEMP, meaning happy days. If the balance of the legend were seen, the legend would read: FEL TEMP REPAATIN, meaning restoration of happy days--like saying: Happy Days are Here Again. These Roman coins can be dated to the mid-4th centuryduring the reigns of Constans, Magnentius, Constantius II, Constantius Gallus , Julian II and Procopius.

Afer the monetary reform in 498, a new range of copper denominations was establisehd, based on the lowest denomination; the 'NUMMUS".
The largest denomination, the FOLLIS, bore the mark of value:"M" equalling 40 NUMMI.
You can easily see the "M" on your cut coin.
