Top one is a half groat (two pennies) of Charles I. If the mint mark is a crown as it appears then dating from 1635-36.

Second I think is a Venetian soldino, possibly of Doge Michele Steno, 1400-1413.

Third .. nice, but no idea! Celtic? Minim?

Agree on #2; you can just make out +MICHA in the left obverse legend (of +MICHAEL STEN DUX).
Of course, I could never hope to add to a Tom Goodheart appraisal of any Charles I coinage!

That is a wonderful little collection of weights. Can I ask how much it set you back? (for my education and future use)
