Like walking the beach at sunrise after a storm. Never know what you’ll find. Cheap fun, no sunburn

 

Now for the 15 older mystery coins. #1
I feel like this one has enough to be IDed, but I'm stuck.
Copper, 28 mm, 11.35 g
Ob: Portrait? Rev: "PVBLIC COMMO DITAS" in a wreath?
Italian? Ancient? Suggestions welcomed!

 

Haven't found an exact match, but I think it's from the Kingdom of Naples.
It's very similar to this 1622-3 Felipe IV 3 Tornesi (33 mm) but mine is 28 mm.
It's about the size of 1 grano, but I can't find the exact inscription in Krause.
Photos not mine.

 

Similar to this one too. https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/164815

 

One could accuse me of having an overactive imagination, but for this one I think I have a positive ID. 7.7 g, 26 mm, copper. From the coat of arms on the reverse I know it's Kingdom of Naples, and the script letter right of the hair matches Filippo IV. I can just make out a bit of an 8 for the date, which I think is part of 1648. It's a pretty close match to the one pictured on Numista, though a bit worn down.

Naples, 1 Grano, 1648, Filippo IV

 

Another Puzzler. It's hard to find an exact match, but I think it may be:
Papal States (Gubbio?), 1 Quattrino, Benedict XIII, 1724-1730. 2.44 g, 20 mm
Crossed keys on the top of the obverse pointed me to the Papal States.
The arms definitely look like Benedict XIII, and I can make out "BE" at 7:00 on the obverse. Reverse looks like a standing figure, probably St. Ubaldus.
Here are a couple (different) coins with similar attribution.
I wish Krause had pictures of these old Italian States minors, but they don't.

 

You might find “Corpus Nummorum Italicorum xx” a useful resource . 731 pages text is in Italian lots of plates. Your coin from Naples looks like it’s listed on page 277 No159.There is no photo but the structure of the reverse legend in 3 lines matches up.You can find a link to the work at Forvm Ancient Coins.It might help with the other coins you have.The number I gave you was for the first coin you pictured.

 

I wasn't sure I could ID this one, but I think I have the type and year:
Sicily, 2 Grana, 1795, Ferdinando III. 6.4 g, 26 mm, Copper
Obverse: Eagle, "FERD D.G. SIC. REX."
Reverse: "UT COMMO DIUS 1795"

 

Another tough one. Crossed keys make me think Papal States.
I think the text reads (approximately):
ob: "P M A VI" ... "INN XII" (Pontifex Maximus year 12)
rev: "[SANC]TVS" Saint (Peter? Paul? Usbaldus?)
So it's probably a quattrino of Pope Innocent XII, such as this one.
If it is year VI, I think that would be 1696
The saint text looks like "PAV" for "Paulus" to me, but I can't find a St. Paul type on Numista that's a close match for the date/pope/metal of the coin. Mysterious.

 

A crudely-made irregular copper coin. 2.7 g, 16 to 19 mm
Obverse is a left-facing eagle, but it's too old to be from unified Germany.
I'm thinking perhaps the Duchy of Modena and Reggio.
Compare to this 1 Bolognino (1737-1780) for my closest guess at a match.
