Venetian Golden Ducats [solved]

Found these golden zecchini of dodges Francisco Molin and Marcantonio Giustinian. The axle is displaced around 45º and 90° as can be seen and because of that I'm conserned about their authenticity.

Is this normal ???

In those days, yes!

While the die rotation may be off, especially in older coins, I would measure their weight and diameter. If you can even test them for gold.

I am curious, where did you "find" them. That seems an awesome find, I wish I could have "finds" like that once in a lifetime!

As others mentioned in those times it's normal. If the coin comes from a reputable source I'm sure it's fine. You could also check it's size and weight and do a gold test if needed.

I've already measured them. The diameter is 20-22mm and its weight ≈3.5gr. Unfortunately I can’t run the test at the moment for my country is under quarantine...

Anyway, thanks a lot all of you!

Size and weight are ok. Your profile says you're from Greece where these coins circulated and, although valuable, are still common. I think they're real.

They look fine to me as well!
