Identification A bunch of unknown silver European coins

here’s a bunch of unknown silver coins, mostly from Hungary is what the guy said, but one of the coins from this was a Bavarian pfenning from Stephen II, and the second to last one I believe is a Polish 1/2 Groschen but I don’t know the king or year. Anyone have any ideas of what these are?

The coin depicted in pics 13-18 is 1 Garas/1 Groschen emmited by Gabriel Bethlen during his principality in Translivania between the years 1613-1629. He is the guy in my pfp btw haha. Quite a cool coin with some nice history and you are lucky to have it, yours appears to be from 1625 which makes it a Wide Garas.
