Pretty sure 3 is Hungarian, but I can't see the date on your tiny pics (if it's even there, and could well be off flan). EDIT: some Numista searching suggests this type (which would actually be slightly too recent for this forum), but I can't read the date anyway. 2 is probably French of some kind, because of the fleur-de-lys, but I don't recognize anything other than that, unfortunately. As for 1, the side with the cross looks strangely familiar, but this is pretty much all I can say. |

@cerick, posting individual coins in your pics makes our job much easier. Any chance posting these guys separately?

@cerick, #2 is a 1 kreutzer/2 denier coin that was minted in the City of Strasbourg in the 15th or 16th Century. The obv inscription is MONETA ARGEN while the rev inscription is something like GLA IN EXCELS DO. Strasbourg is one of those towns that went back and forth between being German and French and so can pose a bit of a challenge in terms of finding a definitive attribution, but perhaps someone else here can chime in too. Here is another example of your coin: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/pa...Default.aspx"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Could #1 possibly be of Austrian origin?

By my brief uneducated comparison, #1 looks like a 13th Century Austrian Friesacher pfennig. But, I'm out of my league.

Yes, it certainly could--I agree with @january1may's attribution. Nice set of three coins!
