2 Coins And A Weight, Help Me ID Them Please!

1 is "spielgeld" or play money. Germany was apparently one of the last countries to stop trying to teach arithmetic to young kids in Roman numerals - a difficult concept to grasp without manipulatives, apparently. Several companies made such cheap counting tokens, modeled on historic or current world currencies.

2 is ancient Roman, posthumous issue of Constantine the Great, minted by any of his three sons, Constantine II, Constantius II, or Constans. The obverse is Constantine in a funeral veil, DV CONSTANTINVS PT AVGG, (Divine Constantine, Father of the Emperors). Reverse is Constantine in a funeral robe, VN MR (Veneranda Memoria; In Veneration (of his) Memory). Looks like Alexandria mint. They are popular, but quite common.

#3 is a 1/2 guinea (British gold coin) weight. The reverse reads "RICHARD LITCHFEILD FECIT" -- FECIT is Latin for "made it" as in "Richard Litchfeild made it (this weight.)"

These are called Founders' weights, because they were cast by members of the Worshipful Company of Founders (as in type-setters and bronze metal casters.)

The Journal of the British Numismatic Society (2001: BNJ 71/11) ran an excellent article/research piece by Norman Biggs on these weights. Mr. Biggs identifies Mr. Litchfeild as being active from 1688-1712, having been made a Steward of the guild in 1698. Litchfeild's name appears on four different weights, found with and without "ewer" counterstamps next to "FECIT."

A 1/2 guinea gold piece was 20mm in diameter and weighed 4.3g of 11/12 fine gold (appx. 22kt or 0.910 to 0.915); it was worth 10/6 (10 shillings and sixpence) at the time this would have been cast.

The sovereign when this was made would have been William III or, more likely, Queen Anne.
