This is a pair of identical coins (each shows a different side) This is the third coin (both sides) This is the fourth coin (both sides) And this is the fifth one (both sides) Report this Post to the Staff

With that said, the third (and likely fourth) pieces are German gaming tokens called Spiel Münze. Here is a numista link to a similar, but not exactly the same piece to help you with your research: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia58671.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 8:59 pm Hello and welcome. As others have said, most of these are actually not "real coins". The top two coins are replicas of an Ottoman gold coin, but these replicas usually aren't actually made of gold. Numbers 3 and 4 are German-made rechenpfennigs, or "counting-tokens"; these have designs similar to Austrian coins from the mid-1800s. The last one appears to be an early Ottoman silver coin, but it might be a replica as well. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
