Some of the pieces of the type can be worth a few bucks (up to around 50 bucks) in lower grades, but I did not take the time to attempt identifying the type. Might be tough without the coin in-hand. Krease's World Coins comes in several volumes (17th cen, 18th cen, 19th cen 20th cen-present), which can be pricey, but Amazon carry's them and they are worth the investment.
