Hi, I have collected in time a number of undated parpagliola coins, with slight variations.
I would like your help in attributing these coins, as they appear to be minted at Milan by both Philip II and Philip III and also imitated by Cocconato and Desana.
I have 5 coins, with 3 variants.
The legend is not fully legible, but I cannot see missing or switched letters, thus I would presume that all are correct.
Variant 1: Shield concave on top. Like:

Variant 2: Shield convex on top. Like:

Variant 3: Shield concave. Dot / fleur de lis / Dot in exergue

Since all are worn, it is very relative to consider one to be more "regularly" struck than the other, so I wander if there are other clues that differentiate them.

Thanks!

Did you forget to attach the photos of your coins?

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

Hi Peter, actually I hoped that we can advance the discussions based on the variants from Numista, which match my coins.
But, I'll make scans and update the post asap

OK, I misunderstood your question. Since my screen isn't big enough to show the four pictures together and since the more coins of this type the better to find significant differences (like PROVIDUNTIA instead of PROVIDENTIA) pictures of your coins may indeed help.
