    Can anybody point me in the right category for the coins in this little lot? (first pic) The top right is a leption, but the center of the bottom row is a puzzler. (second pic has the specific coin reverse in middle row left)

    It appars to be a kind of celtic, but I'm stuck.

    Not 100% but they look Judaean to me. Could be widow mites also.

    Neither type I own.

    I can see why Mat would say Judean, but I believe these are more medieval. I would start there, maybe Spanish.

    Another area I own no coins of, at least the AEs.

    The reason I saw why you guessed Judaic Mat was the material looks like judaic bronzes, and a couple of the designs are a little similar, (star pattern etc), but not one of those designs are judaic. What made me guess medieval European was the bottom center obverse piece, with the cross pattern which is very prominent in Spanish late medieval pieces. That could be wrong but its a place to start.

    It looks like there is maybe an Islamic one too, in the left bottom corner.

    True, or something like a medieval jeton. If this "lot" was not from all one place, then every single coin will be its own mystery. Most of them very well could be jetons.
