The second coin is of course is a German Pfennig it is an old German coin or note, which existed from the 9th century until the introduction of the euro in 2002. While a valuable coin during the Middle Ages, it lost its value through the years and was the minor coin of the Mark. At first of silver, it was degraded to a copper coin in the 16th c. The regulation of the Pfennig at 100 to the Mark dates from 1871.

Your third coin is an ancientRoman coin. Delmatius, Caesar 18 September 335 - mid 337 A.D. From the Alexandria mint.

I am sure Crusader will be able to identify your first coin.

The first is a circa 1740 1/2? Moidor Portuguese Coin Weight used to weight gold coins. Not that the weight is Portuguese, it was for weighing the foriegn coins when trading, to check if the were fake etc..

(You can see the faint letters across the middle - 'MOIDOR' & a 'W' at the base. Above will be the denomination - either a 1 or a 1/2 depending on weight)
