    Bought these on a trip to San Marino many moons ago but know nothing about them. Can anyone help me identify them please. I don't even know what metal they're made from.

    That scan didn't come out as well as I'd hoped. The coin in the center is a silver coloured 1lira and one of the others has a 10lire mark. all the surrounding coins look like they could be gold (wishfull thinking) Any help appreciated.

    You definitely have 9 round pieces of metal from a country that did in fact have its own coinage in pre-Euro days, but your pictures are a couple of orders of magnitude too small to base an authentication opinion on.

    maybe im wrong, but I doubt those coins are gold considering that they are all surrounding one large silver coin. If the other coins were gold, I'd think that the silver would be used to make them look more impressive, not the other way around.

    Well, San Marino still has "its own coinage", but I doubt these are coins. Of course an image that lets us recognize some details would be helpful - or post the text that you can read on the pieces.
