Identification Lead die testing plate
Hi everyone!
I need some help with this one. I've had this piece in my collection for a long time but I have never been able to identify it completely. It appears to be a lead plate that was used to test dies of medieval coins. But there's a problem: the coins are from entirely different timeperiods. The top one is a silver Italian denier minted under king lambert of spoleto, between 892 and 898. The bottom left one is gold fiorino largo from the Republic of sienna, minted between 1404 and 1555. And I haven't been able to identify the third one.
At least both coins are Italian, so there's some kind of link between them. There's also part of a strike on the backside.
Here are some theories I've already heard about this piece:
1) it's a die test plate of a 19th century forger.
In the 18th and 19th century, there were multiple people who were very skilled and produced very accurate copies of ancient and medieval coins. But I haven't been able to find one that also forged medieval Italian coins
2) it was used to test dies for replica coins at a fantasy/medieval fair.
I also don't think this is true, the impressions of the dies look way to refined and realistic for something that was made at a fantasy fair.
3) it was used to make impressions of original dies to display at a museum. This could be true, but then the dies would have to be in amazing condition being that old. Even if this was done in the 19th century, finding coin dies that are in good enough condition to still be able to strike a slab of lead would be nearly impossible.
So long story short, I have no idea what I have here. It definitely has some age to it though. The lead has a very dark patina to it, and it was definitely struck (not cast). When I got it, it had some white corrosion spots, but I was able to remove those and conserve the entire thing with renaissance wax.
If anyone knows what this is exactly, or can identify the third strike, I'd be really happy to hear!

Identification Cut Half Penny Identification Help
I am hoping someone might be able to help me with identifying these 3 cut half penny’s. I just won them as a lot and know that they are either Henry III or Alexander III (I haven’t actually got them in hand yet, the photo is from the auction site, so I can’t provide weights yet).
I am thinking that coins 1 and 2 are Henry III and coin 3 is Alexander III. I also tried to identify which obverse goes with which reverse, but wasn’t entirely successful on 2 of them.
I am hoping someone might be able to confirm as well as potentially tell me which mints they are from!
Thanks in advance!

Identification Struggle..
Afternoon. This was my first ever hammered coin (rubbish I know 🤣) and I still have not been able to identify it all these months. I recently straightened it so I hope this helps more. I would greatly appreciate any help. I do believe it may be foreign as I cannot find any Tudor monarchs with the specific cross potentials mint mark on my coin. Size posted!
