Italian coins to identify

Recommended Posts

I acquired these Italian coins around 30 years ago. Can someone help identify them, or let me know whether they are worth anything.

The first one is 5 lira. But has no date?

Is this a Papal coin? If so, is there much interest (Got quite a few of these)

this is not a coin , it's a medal of pope PIVS XII .... I think it an unofficial medal maybe a private issue

Thanks Matteo. I've no idea of their weight (I will need to invest in some scales). All I know is that one of my relatives got them from the Bank of Naples where he worked. I have others similar. Unfortunately they have been stored in PVC pouches in the attic...
