A correspondent has asked for help with these four coins
I haven't a clue, and cannot find them in my 1750-1850 catalogue

Any ideas?

No.3 is a 2 Denari from Sardinia (Mainland Coinage) - issued between 1732 and 1800.
The other three I think are earlier 2 Denari - but not listed in Krause.  Italian states are somewhat lacking for pre 1750 issues.

I can just make out ... EM II in the legends, so this may be your man:

Well done to you all.  I have passed on the information
and I am sure the owner would like me to add his thanks to mine.

Back to the exam marking... >:(

Ham 3 (the third coin) is indeed a 2 denari of Sardegna (mainland). Since neither the legend, nor the date can be read, it could be  Cr 1 (Carlo Emmanuele III), Cr 50 (Vittorio Emmanuele III) or Cr 79 (Carlo Emmanuele IV).

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
