Hello friends! I have some old coins from Europe, before the year 1800. I have reached a point where I can not find many of them. I would like to be guided on the origin and if they are cataloged in numismatic. Below some of them, listed as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, front and back. Thank you very much
Цитата: "Reklaw"Last one looks maybe Elizabeth I of England (LIZ on shield side), no bust on it so perhaps an Irish coin?
Thank you man! Is one of them! But i can't find the size for halfpenny or a penny, so i can't know the value. But with the data you gave me, I'm very happy
I could be wrong, but I think that first one is written in Cyrillic. As far as I know, that is the only alphabet that uses that backwards N. Can't be too many countries with that, can there?

Цитата: "Reklaw"Re the last coin, looks like you have a penny rather than the halfpenny, see this link
http://www.mernick.org.uk/bexley/article1.htm this lists the penny size as 19.5mm
Цитата: "luca biondi"Can resume all the discoverys please...
Yes!
number 1, still as unknow. But I still looking for.
Number2 mezzo (1/2) soldo castiglione delle stiviere (italy) nd (1609-1616) km#1
Number 3 quattrino Ferrara (no visible date 1622-1623) gregorius XV
Number 4 sesino, castiglione delle stiviere, (nd 1616-1678) ferdinando I km#5
Number 5 1 penny, ireland. Elizabeth I 1601(star) km#6.1
I'm wondering if it could be an imitation of this kind of coin or something like a token : that can explain why we see a consequent number of backwards N in the lettering (I have the impression that doesn't mean something).
