Alex, thank you. These are all symbols of the 12 biblical tribes (the banners at the bottom are the tribe names), but where should it be in the catalogue? What is the face value of "20 sicli"? These coins/tokens don't seem to be Israeli even though that's the only country listed on them.

You are very welcome, McKinley. I was fascinated when I saw them, as I have some Israel coins in my collection. So I recognised a few of the designs. Where? That is what I am wondering. You could put them under Israel, as that country's currency is the inspiration for them. I am searching for 20 sicli, but no luck as yet.
Given the Italian hallmarks, and "Sicli" being a common translation of shekels, it seems likely that these were minted/Issued in Italy. Why? I have no idea.
I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!
