Identification Help! Venetian Ducats

[Istinpolin]

Dear Friends

Sorry for posting in English, but it has to be until I learn some basic Italian. Since I a member here now I am sure Gionata and Yafet Rasnal will start to teach me soon.

I have for Venetian Ducats up for identification which I assume will be very easy for you all but not for me.

Here is the link:

Best wishes and thanks in advance,

Burak Cebeci

PS: Please keep the Islamic coins as I want to repay you all for your help.

I confirm #4 being of Indian origin. According to Gamberini di Scarfea it should be in electrum (gold/silver alloy), diameter 22 mm and weigh 3,52-1,32 gr.

The weight is lowerd by the hole, but it would be interesting to know it, along with the weight of the other ducats.

Ciao :)
