Inherited Some Gold Coins | Venetian Zecchini

Hello, Erikos, welcome to the forum!

I can say a few words of coin #7. It is from Ottoman Turkey, 500 kurush (or piasters).

The date and the name of the sultan on the note by it is wrong. I can see the ascension date of AH 1327 (i.e. 1909), that is when Muhammad V came to power. To figure the actual date of the issue we need to know the regnal year which is located under the toughra and above the wreath on the other side. These were minted between 1909 and 1914.

The coin is 0.9170 finness so its actual gold content is 0.5619 ounces.
Right now the price of gold is about 1330 euros per ounce so your coin should be worth at least €747.

1 4 5 and 6 appear to be venetian coins

there seems to be napoleon III of france, but I cant seem to identify the picture clearly

Can you provide bigger pictures of the smaller coins, or perhaps a description? I suspect they may be gold "miniatures", rather than actual coins.

As for the Venetian coins, they aren't quite the same as the one you found the description for. The Venetians issued these gold zecchini, or ducats, with more or less identical design for over 500 years, from 1280 to the end of the Republic in 1797. Dating them is tricky and you need to pay close attention to the exact name on the coin.

#1 an #4 are both in the name of Doge Alvise Mocenigo I, who ruled 1570--1577, or possibly Alvise Mocenigo II (1700-1709). I'm afraid that whoever wrote the dates "1414-1422" on the holder of coin #1 has mistaken it for a coin of another earlier member of the Mocenigo family.

#5 and #6 were struck during the reign of one of the Loredan family; I think #6 is in the name of Doge Francesco Loredan (1752--1762), but I'd need to see the other side of #5 to be sure of which Loredan it was struck under.

Since we've identified most of them, except the two tiny ones, I'll be moving this thread to World Coins.
