Most probably it's Farsi on second coin. Perhaps @Serpentine can decode the persian language

Who is Sultan Hakim Karim ? Can't seem to find any info about him.
Well I just translated what @Rakan.SA wrote in Arabic to English using google translate and it gave me this:There were many sultans of that time, unless you know what Kingdom or time period, your shooting in the dark.
Many muslim rulers would start their coins with AL Sultan followed by auspicious titles associating them with religion:
For example Sultan Jalaludin Mohammed shah's proper courtly title was:
Al-sultan al-azam al-muazzamin khalifat Allah 'ali al-makunin Jalal al-Dunya w’al-Din (the most exalted of the great sultans, the caliph of Allah in the universe).
Also Al-KARIM and Al-HAKIM are names of God meaning the generous and the wise.

I cannot seem to find anything about the 1st coin unfortunately...........Rauf My friend to be best of my knowledge is one of the Name of Almighty Allah
Found this on Wikipedia,scroll down and look at the right side there will be an image of coins almost identical to the ones you have posted. Hope i was helpful.These are some Mughal era silver coins that I have. When I was young I used to collect coins , so I have a small collection of old Indian coins . These specific coins were given to me by my grandfather. I always used to wonder what's written on it. They have been with me since 6 years. Please help me decode them.

How can I collect them? Any place in India to easily get some?
Be careful of fakes ! If you are not an expert these can be faked very easily, I once bought two coins for 500 bucks which turned out to be fake. Ebay especially is filled to the brim with fakes. Rarely an original item comes through which is buyable.

How can we determine if its real or fake ?
Although I am pretty sure these are real.
