artdio, you need to remeasure your Victorian coin. If it's 12 cm (?!?!) then it's a giant, if it's 12 mm then it's a runt, becase the smallest coin, 1/4 farthing is 13.5 mm diameter.

Just as I thought (I once measured with a wrong ruler). So now it's final: as I said it was a copper halfpenny, 28 mm diameter. (In 1860 they switched to bronze and reduced the size to 25 mm.)

#5 is from the Papal States, Year 9 of the reign of Pope Innocent XI (= 1684 AD). There are two types of large copper coins from the Papal city-state of Gubbio with this date, depending on what's on the other side. Giving us the diameter could help confirm the denomination, too.
