My father brought these coins back to Canada after WWII. He had picked them up in Italy. I found an Italian coin site where some of the images are similar suggesting 1700 - 1800's. Nothing on reverse of coin. Any help would be appreciated.

They appear to be brass replicas of old Italian gold coins.

Some more research provided me with additional information. These are Italian weight coins that were used on balance scales. I see some of them sell for about 200 Euros. I have attached an image for your information.
