I have come across a batch of coins that I had previously only loosely identified/confirmed. Can anyone help and/or pass comment?

One per post - First is this that I have loosely labelled Iceni Stater:

Second is this that I believe is Durotriges Stater:

Third is this one, which came with a ticket suggesting Kentish Unit:

and fifth and finally this, which I can see is Henry VII Groat, probably S2258, but is it authentic?

Here are some known counterfeits if that helps? Yours is clearly a different die from the ones shown, if that kick-starts the post for you?

Thanks for that @Coinery - mine is certainly a different die and mintmark. All those seem pretty much the same, not matter how much the forger has tried to make them look different.
