Based on the hilt, I'd guess it's from Yemen, that hilt style is common to that region(but not exclusive to it, so it's just a guess). As for age, no idea, and only paying members of Bladeforums are allowed to ask about value.
 
It is a nice set. I would suggest getting better images of the coins to see we can narrow the date range.
