I have not seen these for sale before, they just came from Nigeria. They measure in length 36.8mm and in diameter 11mm and 13mm. The coin measures 16mm in diameter.
The second group has me wondering, I thought they were Venetian until I saw them enlarged in the picture. Is there anyone who is familiar with these or can identify them? Please.

could it be the "bear paw" effect? --- birdi ( 2012-09-07 11:55 ) file img
- Wow, thanks everyone for the time and input. It's good to know they are venetian after all. --- Judy ( 2012-09-07 12:30 )
