imitation of Venetian grosso [solved]

I ask for hints where and when these coins could have been minted?The Balkans?Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria or Macedonia?Thanks.Vladimir

It depends on whether you are talking about counterfeits, or official coinage of other nations that imitated Venetian types.

This is most likely an official release

​You ever heard about images etc?

As pointed out by @sjoelund, if you want help here, it's best to post some photos and data.

But for doing your own research, you can look here for official issues of medieval Serbia: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/serbia_medieval_section-1.html

...and here for official issues of medieval Bulgaria: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/bulgarian_empire-1.html

Venice also issued coins for its colonies like Crete, Cyprus, which are listed here under Italian Stats > Venice > etc. but I don't think there are many issues there that look like grossi.

Thank you very much.I'll take a look and if I can't figure it out, I'll send a photo of each coin and the weight.Thanks.Vladimir.

It's very easy. Click on the button under the red arrow. The next screen shows your hard drive and asks which picture you want to add in your post. You can only select one picture so to add the reverse picture you have to do it again (and again and again if you want add more pictures).

I put up 2 coins each .There are 2 coins in the photo, each with a weight above it.Front and back side.

Why do you think they are imitations (or at least some)?
I don't have time to research them all now, but the first looks like Pietro Gradenigo

Some more thoughts, and I will continue to edit this post.
1. A grosso should be near 2.0 g. If clipped, can be less. This tends to eliminate the coin at 2.7 g, but I think everything between 1.6-2.1 we can give a chance to be authentic.
2. A half grosso should be near 1.0 g, so we should check the smaller coin for the possibility to be a half grosso.
3. The grossi before 1350s have both figures on the obverse facing forward, which places all of your coins in this period if they are authentic

In the set of photos posted at 10:28, I have the first coin as possibly Pietro Granenigo as already mentioned. The second, I get something like .IZADVNR where the doge's name should be, and the weight is not correct. Unsure about this one

In the second set of photos posted at 10:35, I have the first coin as Lorenzo Tiepolo https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8419731 I think I can see L ----------PL. . The second coin I cannot identify

In the third set of photos posted at 10:37, I do not think the first coin is an authentic Venetian grosso. The figures are poorly executed, the doge's name is illegible. The second coin could be an authentic grosso of either Jacopo Tiepolo or Lorenzo Tiepolo, as we can see EVP in the doge's name . This is also true of the second coin in the 4th set of photos.

Thanks.Huge.One of these days I will add the rest of the coins.Thanks again.Vladimir.
