[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 5519035, member: 102103"]Yes, thanks [USER=109372]@jtlartgallery[/USER], I can se "MANV" or part of it on some of them. The second one is one of the clearest. I can make out part of "RP ET" on the obverse and "MANV... GVINEE" on the reverse. The castle has a full wall and the towers have segments and windows, which I think is [URL='https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces107035.html']Group 5[/URL]. I was embarrassed by the low quality of these, but it looks like most of the ones on Numista are comparable. I'll see what I can make out on the others. Edit: Trying to figure out the abbreviations on the legend; EMANVEL · R · P .ET · A · D · GVINEE Is probably Manuel I, King of Portugal and Algarve, Lord of Guinea Reverse: EMANVEL · R · P .ET · A Manuel I, King of Portugal and Algarve Where Algarve is the southern part of Portugal reconquered from the Moors (Al-Gharb) in 1294, and Guinea is the Portuguese colony in Africa.
